The complete mitochondrial genome of Saccostrea malabonensis (Ostreida: Ostreidae): characterization and phylogenetic position [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022
The taxonomy of the genus Saccostrea is very confused, however, there is relatively little molecular information available on Saccostrea. In this study, we determined and described for the first time the complete mitochondrial genome of Saccostrea ...

Molecular characterization of accripin11, a soluble shell protein with an acidic C‐terminus, identified in the prismatic layer of the Mediterranean fan mussel Pinna nobilis (Bivalvia, Pteriomorphia) [PDF]

FEBS Open Bio, 2023
We have identified a novel shell protein, accripin11, as a major soluble component of the calcitic prisms of the fan mussel Pinna nobilis. Initially retrieved from a cDNA library, its full sequence is confirmed here by transcriptomic and proteomic ...

The genome sequence of the European flat oyster, Ostrea edulis (Linnaeus, 1758) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research, 2023
We present a genome assembly from an individual Ostrea edulis (the European flat oyster; Mollusca; Bivalvia; Ostreida; Ostreidae). The genome sequence is 894.8 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The

The expanded inhibitor of apoptosis gene family in oysters possesses novel domain architectures and may play diverse roles in apoptosis following immune challenge. [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background: Apoptosis plays important roles in a variety of functions, including immunity and response to environmental stress. The Inhibitor of Apoptosis (IAP) gene family of apoptosis regulators is expanded in molluscs, including eastern, Crassostrea ...
