Sentence examples for model for mollusc from inspiring English sources

The freshwater snail L. stagnalis has also been a model for mollusc neuropeptide research where studies have discovered five genes coding for the neuropeptides APGWamide, neuropeptide Y, conopressin, molluscan insulin-related peptide, and pedal peptide that are involved in muscle contraction and modulation in males [ 12, 13].

In this study, we performed unbiased whole-genome BS-seq for the mantles of two individual oysters to generate DNA methylomes at single-base resolution for this model mollusc.

We therefore propose that the model for male sexual drive in molluscs, which is currently mainly based on prostate gland size [ 25], needs to be extended.

Methods for mollusc, mouse infections and parasite recovery have been previously described [30].

Methods for mollusc, mouse infections and parasite recovery have been previously described [ 4].

Both avenues will be explored in the future within our laboratory, both in Laternula and economically important model temperate mollusc species, such as Crassostrea gigas and Mytilus galloprovincialis.

Molluscs provide an appropriate model for the study of the evolutionary history of these various eye components as a number of different eye types are present in one phylum.

The Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, a widely cultivated marine bivalve mollusc, is becoming a genetically and genomically enabled model for highly fecund marine metazoans with complex life-histories.

This pattern is constrained by studies on larval molluscs and echinoderms and adult crustaceans, demanding caution in adopting this as a model for other taxa.

The sequencing of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas genome provides an opportunity for genome-wide profiling of DNA methylation in this model mollusc.

However, SNP markers have been insufficiently developed for molluscs in comparison with well-studied model organisms, such as mouse, nematode worm, and zebrafish.
