A Needle in A Haystack: Tracing Bivalve-Associated Viruses in High-Throughput Transcriptomic Data
Bivalve mollusks thrive in environments rich in microorganisms, such as estuarine and coastal waters, and they tend to accumulate various particles, including viruses. However, the current knowledge on mollusk viruses is mainly centered on few pathogenic

The effect of Roundup on the bivalve Unio tumidus mollusk utilizing ex vivo approach
Glyphosate is the worldwide used herbicide of the first priority. However, its biochemical effects in the aquatic animals are studied scantly. The ex vivo approach has been recently proposed to provide the express evaluation of the adverse impact without
