Journal ArticleDOI

The oyster genome reveals stress adaptation and complexity of shell formation

TL;DR: The sequencing and assembly of the oyster genome using short reads and a fosmid-pooling strategy and transcriptomes of development and stress response and the proteome of the shell are reported, showing that shell formation in molluscs is more complex than currently understood and involves extensive participation of cells and their exosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide and single-base resolution DNA methylomes of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas provide insight into the evolution of invertebrate CpG methylation

TL;DR: Comparative analysis of the oyster DNA methylomes and that of other animal species revealed that the characteristics of DNA methylation were generally conserved during invertebrate evolution, while some unique features were derived in the insect lineage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oyster Shell Proteins Originate from Multiple Organs and Their Probable Transport Pathway to the Shell Formation Front

TL;DR: It is found that the shell proteins may be produced by multiple organs though the mantle is still the most important organ for shell formation, and a new immature model is proposed, which will help to think about the mechanism of shell formation in a different way.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of Conserved and Novel MicroRNAs in the Pacific Oyster Crassostrea gigas by Deep Sequencing

TL;DR: Deep sequencing was conducted to identify the miRNAs of Crassostrea gigas (Lophotrochozoa) at a genomic scale, using 21 libraries that included different developmental stages and adult organs, and it was found that the swimming stages were characterized by the youngest miRPAIs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification two novel nacrein-like proteins involved in the shell formation of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas

TL;DR: Surprisingly, the Gly-X-Asn repeat domain was absent in the two newly identified nacrein-like proteins in C. gigas and replaced with a series of acidic amino acids (D/E).
