Biological Feasibility of Freshwater Mussel and Pearl Culture in Gulf Coast States

In Vitro Culture of Freshwater Pearl Mussel from Glochidia to Adult

Characterization of cyclophilin D in freshwater pearl mussel (Hyriopsis schlegelii)

Cyclophilin D (referred to as HsCypD) was obtained from the freshwater pearl mussel (Hyriopsis schlegelii). The full-length cDNA was 2 671 bp, encoding a protein consisting of 367 amino acids. HsCypD was determined to be a hydrophilic intracellular protein with 10 phosphorylation sites and four tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domains, but no signal peptide. The core sequence region YKGCIFHRIIKDF...

Transcriptome analysis of the freshwater pearl mussel, Hyriopsis cumingii (Lea) using illumina paired-end sequencing to identify genes and markers

The transcriptome of triangle sail mussel Hyriopsis cumingii (Lea) using Illumina paired-end sequencing technology was conducted and analyzed. Equal quantities of total RNA isolated from six tissues, including gonad, hepatopancreas, foot, mantel, gill and adductor muscle, were pooled to construct a cDNA library. A total of 58.09 million clean reads with 98.48 % Q20 bases were generated. Cluster...
