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

Comparative Genomics of Sex-Determination-Related Genes Reveals Shared Evolutionary Patterns Between Bivalves and Mammals, but Not Fruit Flies. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT The molecular basis of sex determination (SD), while being extensively studied in model organisms, remains poorly understood in many animal groups. Bivalves, a diverse class of molluscs with a variety of reproductive modes, represent an ideal yet challenging clade for investigating SD and the evolution of sexual systems.

A Naturally Active Spy Transposon Discovered from the Insect Genome of Colletes gigas as a Promising Novel Gene Transfer Tool. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
This study explores the discovery of novel active DNA transposons, specifically Spy transposons within the PHIS superfamily, showing recent activity across various animal species. cgSpy and cvSpy transposons from Colletes gigas and Crassostrea virginica exhibit significant transposition efficiency, with cgSpy demonstrating promising potential for ...

High genetic diversity and lack of structure underlie the invasion history of the non-indigenous oyster Dendostrea cf. crenulifera (Mollusca, Ostreida, Ostreidae) spreading in the eastern Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

NeoBiota
Since the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, hundreds of Indo-Pacific species have rapidly colonised the Mediterranean. Understanding the spatial and temporal patterns of this biological invasion is crucial for assessing its ecological impact.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Alectryonella plicatula (Bivalvia: Ostreidae) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2021
In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of Alectryonella plicatula (Gmelin 1791), the newly determined mitochondrial genome is 18225 bp in length, it is a circular molecule and consists of 12 protein-coding genes (atp8 is absent), 24 transfer RNA (with two copies of trnP and trnQ), and 2 ribosomal RNA genes (splitting
