TranscriptomicsThe microstructural, mineralogical and transcriptional developments of shell biomineralization of Pinctada maxima
Molluscan larval ontogeny is a highly conserved process typical of 3 principal developmental stages. A characteristic unique to each of these stages is shell design, termed prodissoconch I, prodissoconch II and dissoconch. These shells vary in morphology, mineralogy and microstructure. The discrete ...

TranscriptomicsAnalysis of the global gene expression profile for pearl oyster, Pinctada maxima, exposed to organotin (tributyltin)
Bivalves are well known sentinel organism in the detection of environmental pollutants. Bioaccumulation of these contaminants in bivalves often manifests as specific alterations of their biological processes, which are used as biomarkers for environmental pollution. Tributyltin (TBT) is one such pol...

TranscriptomicsDifferential expression analysis of genes from the mantle tissue of pearl oyster: Pinctada maxima
The mantle is a thin tissue from which proteins are secreted dictating the mollusk shell construction. As a conserved organ involved in shell formation throughout mollusks, the mantle is an excellent foundation from which to study biomineralization. A P. maxima mantle tissue specific cDNA microarray...

TranscriptomicsMolecular influences relating to the development and biomineralization of the chiton radula, Acanthopleura histosa
Chitons are marine molluscs that posses a radula, a tongue like appendage containing many rows of microscopic teeth used for feeding. These teeth are hardened through the incorporation of biominerals. Since the original discovery of iron oxide and magnetite in these teeth, a wealth of chemical and s...

TranscriptomicsMicroarrays reveal oocyte lipid storage droplet gene as key factor in reproductive dysfunction of captive-reared P. monodon
Background: Aquaculture of the black tiger prawn Penaeus monodon remains severely constrained by an almost total dependence on wild-caught broodstock. Reliance on wild-caught broodstock stems, for the most part, from reduced reproductive potential of captive-reared females. Reproductive performance ...
