Ingestion of Nanoplastics and Microplastics by Pacific Oyster Larvae [PDF]
Environmental Science & Technology, 2015 Plastic debris is a prolific contaminant effecting freshwater and marine ecosystems across the globe. Of growing environmental concern are "microplastics"and "nanoplastics" encompassing tiny particles of plastic derived from manufacturing and macroplastic fragmentation.

Variable microsatellites in the Pacific Oyster Crassostrea gigas and other cupped oyster species [PDF]
Animal Genetics, 2000 Source/description : Genomic DNA was extracted from a whole Pacific oyster (C. gigas) after grinding in liquid nitrogen. Purified DNA was then digested by a mix of 3 restriction enzymes (AluI, RsaI, HaeIII). DNA fragments ranging from 250 to 500 bp were size-selected by agarose gel electrophoresis and ligated into the dephosphorylated blunt-ended SmaI ...
