We have used the greenlip abalone draft genome (PRJNA433241) to generate basic genetic knowledge of the reproductive process with a specific focus on the key interactive processes of maturation, neural signalling, communication and the stress response.
Background: The shells of various Haliotis species have served as models of invertebrate biomineralization and physical shell properties for more than 20 years. A focus of this research has been the nacreous inner layer of the shell with its conspicuous arrangement of aragonite platelets, resembling...
