RNAi Silencing of the Biomineralization Gene Perlucin Impairs Oyster Ability to Cope with Ocean Acidification

Calcifying marine organisms, including the eastern oyster (<i>Crassostrea virginica</i>), are vulnerable to ocean acidification (OA) because it is more difficult to precipitate calcium carbonate (CaCO<sub>3</sub>). Previous investigations of the molecular mechanisms associate...
