Development of SSR marker by RNA-seq and its application in genotyping pearl sac in pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii [PDF]
Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2017 Background: Pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii is cultured for producing round nucleated pearls. Pearl production involves a surgical operation where a mantle tissue graft from a donor oyster and a round nucleus are implanted in the gonad of a host ...

Deep sequencing of ESTs from nacreous and prismatic layer producing tissues and a screen for novel shell formation-related genes in the pearl oyster. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: Despite its economic importance, we have a limited understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying shell formation in pearl oysters, wherein the calcium carbonate crystals, nacre and prism, are formed in a highly controlled manner.

A Novel Matrix Protein Hic31 from the Prismatic Layer of Hyriopsis Cumingii Displays a Collagen-Like Structure. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 In this study, we clone and characterize a novel matrix protein, hic31, from the mantle of Hyriopsis cumingii. The amino acid composition of hic31 consists of a high proportion of Glycine residues (26.67%). Tissue expression detection by RT-PCR indicates

Sustainability and traceability in marine cultured pearl production [PDF]
, 2014 For centuries, wild pearl oysters and mussels were fished in the quest for natural pearls and shell material. This eventually led to the drastic overexploitation of oyster stocks in many areas of the globe.

SOLiD‐MaP: A Photoproximity Labeling Platform for Small Molecule Binding Site Mapping on RNA
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.SOLiD‐MaP is a ligand‐directed photoproximity labeling strategy developed for RNA binding‐site analysis. Singlet oxygen‐mediated labeling creates a proximity‐dependent chemical footprint of bound small molecules on RNA. Coupling this chemistry with mutational profiling enables identification of the ligand‐binding region at nucleotide resolution ...
