Background  Poor reproductive maturation in captive male broodstock of the black tiger shrimp ( Penaeus monodon ) is one of the serious problems to the farming industries. Without genome sequence, EST libraries of  P. monodon  were previously constructed to identify transcripts with important biological functions. In this study, a new version of cDNA microarray, UniShrimpChip, was constructed from the  Peneaus monodon  EST libraries of 12 tissues, containing 5,568 non-redundant cDNA clones from 10,536 unique cDNA in the  P. monodon  EST database. UniShrimpChip was used to study testicular development by comparing gene expression levels of wild brooders from the West and East coasts of Thailand and domesticated brooders with different ages (10-, 14-, 18-month-old).    Results  The overall gene expression patterns from the microarray experiments revealed distinct transcriptomic patterns between the wild and domesticated groups. Moreover, differentially expressed genes from the microarray comparisons were identified, and the expression patterns of eight selected transcripts were subsequently confirmed by reverse-transcriptase quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Among these, expression levels of six subunits ( CSN2, 4, 5, 6, 7a , and  8)  of the  COP9 signalosome (CSN)  gene family in wild and different ages of domesticated brooders were examined by RT-qPCR. Among the six subunits,  CSN5  and  CSN6  were most highly expressed in wild brooders and least expressed in the 18-month-old domesticated group; therefore, their full-length cDNA sequences were characterized.    Conclusions  This study is the first report to employ cDNA microarray to study testicular development in the black tiger shrimp. We show that there are obvious differences between the wild and domesticated shrimp at the transcriptomic level. Furthermore, our study is the first to investigate the feasibility that the  CSN  gene family might have involved in reproduction and development of this economically important species.
