Transcriptome‐To‐Phenome Response of Larval Eastern Oysters Under Multiple Drivers of Aragonite Undersaturation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.
As oysters emerge in the spotlight for food security and habitat health, sensitive ‐omic features are integral for development of climate‐ready strains and selective breeding programs. Our findings offer novel insights into gene candidates affecting growth and recruitment success within systems that experience seasonal warming, freshwater effluent, and

MBD4 from the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii involved in immune response by binding to methylated DNA sequences

Aquaculture Reports
DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic modification with a critical role in regulating gene expression and maintaining genomic stability. Methyl-CpG-binding protein 4 (MBD4) binds to the methylated sequences and regulates gene expression.
