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

Abstract Diverse shallow marine fossil assemblages from the Changhsingian Bellerophon Formation (Dolomites) record late Palaeozoic marine life immediately before the end‐Permian mass extinction. We classified c. 6500 bivalves from western Dolomites localities, identifying 26 species including one new family (Ladinomyidae), three new genera (Ladinomya ...

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

Abstract Parasitic helminths with complex life cycles require multiple hosts in a particular order to complete their life cycles. Although almost all helminths infect invertebrates at some point in their life cycle, we know very little about which species of invertebrates harbor parasites compared with what is known for vertebrates. In New Zealand, <1%
