Identification and expression profiling of the bone morphogenetic protein gene family based on pearl culture in mantle and visceral mass of Hyriopsis cumingii [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceBone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play an important biological role in pearl biomineralization in pearl mussels. In this study, based on the genome data of the triangular sail mussel (Hyriopsis cumingii), the genome-wide identification and bioinformatic
