Comparative Genomics of Pinna rudis and Pinna nobilis Reveals Conserved and Divergent Features of the Bivalve Defensome [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe fan mussels Pinna nobilis and Pinna rudis have received increasing attention due to the mass mortality events (MMEs) that have severely impacted P. nobilis populations in the last decade. Strikingly, P. rudis was not affected by these events.

A Bivalve Biomineralization Toolbox [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2021 Abstract Mollusc shells are a result of the deposition of crystalline and amorphous calcite catalyzed by enzymes and shell matrix proteins (SMP). Developing a detailed understanding of bivalve mollusc biomineralization pathways is complicated not only by the multiplicity of shell forms and microstructures in this class, but also by the ...
