Cell Function Research of β-Trefoil Lectins from Mytilidae
YAKUGAKU ZASSHI, 2021 Two novel β-trefoil lectins, MytiLec-1 and SeviL were found from mussels in the coast of Yokohama and Nagasaki. MytiLec-1 was purified from gill and mantle of Mytilus galloprovincialis. It was consisted of 149 amino acid residues and there was no similarity with any other proteins when it was discovered.

Incorporating environmental DNA metabarcoding for improved benthic biodiversity and habitat mapping
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Seafloor imagery is commonly used to collect information about the distribution of benthic organisms in order to generate habitat and biodiversity maps. Recent advances in genomics (e.g., environmental DNA; eDNA) show potential to complement video surveys for habitat mapping, but there have been few examples testing this.
