Genetic diversity across the mitochondrial genome of eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) in the northern Gulf of Mexico [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, is divided into four populations along the western North Atlantic, however, the only published mitochondrial genome sequence was assembled using one individual in Delaware.

Metaplasia of respiratory and digestive tissues in the eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica associated with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Metaplasia is a well documented and deleterious effect of crude oil components on oysters. This reversible transformation of one cell type to another is a common response to petroleum-product exposure in molluscs.

Comparing Minimally Lethal Sampling Methods for Genomics in the Eastern Oyster (<i>Crassostrea virginica</i>). [PDF]
Ecol EvolNon‐lethal genotyping of oysters is challenging due to the invasive nature of traditional tissue sampling methods. We compared four different sampling techniques on juvenile Eastern oysters, monitoring survival and DNA quality and quantity to identify the optimal approach.

Pilot-scale depuration demonstrates the suitability of non-pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus as a surrogate for commercial-scale validation studies. [PDF]
PLoS ONEShellfish producers have proposed using depuration systems to reduce Vibrio parahaemolyticus levels by supporting the oysters' natural purging ability. For commercial viability, depuration efficacy must be validated in relevant species and at scale using
