Identification and expression analysis of two steamer-like retrotransposons in the Chilean blue mussel (Mytilus chilensis) [PDF]
Biological ResearchBackground Disseminated neoplasia (DN) is a proliferative cell disorder of the circulatory system of bivalve mollusks. The disease is transmitted between individuals and can also be induced by external chemical agents such as bromodeoxyuridine.

Proximal and fatty acid analysis in Ostrea chilensis, Crassostrea gigas and Mytilus chilensis (Bivalvia: Mollusca) from southern Chile. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Oysters and blue mussels are important hydrobiological resources for aquaculture. In Chile, they are farming on the Chiloé island, where around 18% of the world's mussels are produced, however, their nutritional dynamics are largely unknown.

Adaptive Differences in Gene Expression in Farm-Impacted Seedbeds of the Native Blue Mussel Mytilus chilensis [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 The study of adaptive population differences is relevant for evolutionary biology, as it evidences the power of selective local forces relative to gene flow in maintaining adaptive phenotypes and their underlying genetic determinants.

Microbiota Dysbiosis in Mytilus chilensis Is Induced by Hypoxia, Leading to Molecular and Functional Consequences [PDF]
MicroorganismsBivalve microbiota play a vital role in host health, supporting nutrient processing, immunity, and disease resistance. However, the increasing hypoxia in Chilean coastal waters, caused by climate change and eutrophication, threatens to disrupt this ...

Allozymic variation and differentiation in the chilean blue mussel, Mytilus chilensis, along its natural distribution [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2006 Genetic differentiation in the Chilean blue mussel Mytilus chilensis (Hupé 1854) was investigated based on the variation in the allozyme frequencies of Pgm, Gpi, Icd, Me, Gsr, Lap and Pep in eight samples collected along 1800 km from Arauco (VIII Region)

Health Status of Mytilus chilensis from Intensive Culture Areas in Chile Assessed by Molecular, Microbiological, and Histological Analyses [PDF]
Pathogens, 2022 Shellfish farming is a relevant economic activity in Chile, where the inner sea in Chiloé island concentrates 99% of the production of the mussel Mytilus chilensis. This area is characterized by the presence of numerous human activities, which could harm

Epigenetic variation mediated by lncRNAs accounts for adaptive genomic differentiation of the endemic blue mussel Mytilus chilensis [PDF]
HeliyonEpigenetic variation affects gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence of genes controlling ecologically relevant phenotypes through different mechanisms, one of which is long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs).
