<i>Piwi</i> (P-element induced wimpy testis) is an important gene involved in stem cell maintenance and gametogenesis in vertebrates. However, in most invertebrates, especially mollusks, the function of <i>Piwi</i> during gametogenesis remains largely unclear. To further understand the function of <i>Piwi</i> during gametogenesis, full-length cDNA of <i>Piwi1</i> from scallop <i>Chlamys farreri</i> (<i>Cf-Piwi1</i>) was characterized, which consisted of a 2,637 bp open reading frame encoding an ...[more]
