Piwi1 is essential for gametogenesis in mollusk Chlamys farreri [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Piwi (P-element induced wimpy testis) is an important gene involved in stem cell maintenance and gametogenesis in vertebrates. However, in most invertebrates, especially mollusks, the function of Piwi during gametogenesis remains largely unclear.

SOX2 participates in spermatogenesis of Zhikong scallop Chlamys farreri. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractAs an important transcription factor, SOX2 involves in embryogenesis, maintenance of stem cells and proliferation of primordial germ cell (PGC). However, little was known about its function in mature gonads. Herein, we investigated theSOX2gene profiles in testis of scallop,Chlamys farreri.

Functional characteristic and differential expression of myostatin in Chlamys nobilis
Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2018 Myostatin (MSTN) was a conserved negative regulatory protein of muscle growth and development in numerous species. In this study, the MSTN gene was cloned and characterized from a noble scallop, Chlamys nobilis, and it was named CN-MSTN.
