Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE13980: Analysis of the global gene expression profile for pearl oyster, Pinctada maxima, exposed to organotin (tributyltin) GSE14303: Differential expression analysis of genes from the mantle tissue of pearl oyster: Pinctada maxima GSE14305: The microstructural, mineralogical and transcriptional developments of shell biomineralization of Pinctada maxima Refer to individual Series
Project description:To elucidate the modulatory participation of miRNAs in mollusk biomineralization, we have employed high-throughput sequencing to identify miRNAs of pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata. Our study focused on the miRNA expression profile of the mantle, an organ responsible for shell formation of the oyster. The pearl oysters were cultured in the tank with the maintaining conditions of temperature 19 ℃, PH 8.1 and salinity 33‰ in recirculating seawater.
