Transcriptomic analysis of shell repair and biomineralization in the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis

Abstract Background Biomineralization by molluscs involves regulated deposition of calcium carbonate crystals within a protein framework to produce complex biocomposite structures. Effective biomineralization is a key trait for aquaculture, and animal resilience under future climate change. While ma...
