Genomic and transcriptomic identification of the cathepsin superfamily in the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis

Alejandro Romero et al.

Summary: This study identified most of the cathepsin family members in the bivalve Mytilus galloprovincialis and found a high diversification of cathepsin D, L, and F. Transcriptomic analysis revealed the coordinated activity of these proteins during larval development and their important role in the immune response of bivalves.

Evidence of multiple genome duplication events in Mytilus evolution

Ana Corrochano-Fraile et al.

Summary: This study fills the gap of genomic resources for molluscs, revealing multiple whole genome duplication events in the Mytilidae family and the class Bivalvia. The calculation of evolution rates in the Mytilinae subfamily provides insights into the evolutionary history, and the reference genome enables the identification of molecular markers for evolutionary and conservation studies. Mytilidae have the potential to be a model shellfish for climate change adaptation and multi-disciplinary studies.

Molecular genetic differentiation of native populations of Mediterranean blue mussels, Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819, and the relationship with environmental variables

R. Wenne et al.

Summary: This study investigated the genetic differentiation of M. galloprovincialis populations in the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, and the Sea of Azov and identified four groups of populations. Seascape genetic analyses revealed site-specific genetic variation associated with environmental variables, likely reflecting the complex geological history of the Mediterranean sub-basins.

Environmental refuges increase performance of juvenile mussels Mytilus chilensis: Implications for mussel seedling and farming strategies

N. Jahnsen-Guzman et al.

Summary: Estuarine ecosystems are characterized by wide physical-chemical variations, which may be exacerbated in the future under global change scenarios. This study investigated the performance of juvenile mussels settled at different water depths in southern Chile, with factors like salinity, saturation state and CO3 content being key in explaining the differences in growth and calcification rates. The results provide insights into how estuarine organisms respond to small-scale changes in water column characteristics and the potential impacts of climate change.

Comparative Genomics Reveals 13 Different Isoforms of Mytimycins (A-M) in Mytilus galloprovincialis

Magali Rey-Campos et al.

Summary: Mytimycins are cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptides with antifungal properties, part of the immune network of the Mediterranean mussel. Recent genetic studies have identified a total of 106 different mytimycin variants in individual mussel genomes, showing evolutionary trends that contribute to understanding the mussel immune system. Additionally, the distribution of mytimycins has been extended to other Mytilida species, highlighting the importance of these peptides in the defense mechanisms of molluscs.

Differential Expression of Long Non-Coding RNA (lncRNA) in Mediterranean Mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) Hemocytes under Immune Stimuli

Patricia Pereiro et al.

Summary: The Mediterranean mussel is economically relevant in Europe and China due to its resistance to pathogens and lack of massive mortalities. Studies have focused on its transcriptome response to immune stimuli and the complexity of its genome, contributing to this resistance. However, research on non-coding RNA profiles, particularly lncRNAs, remains largely unexplored.
