Project description:Boihai Red is new strains of inter-specific hybridizing the bay scallop (Argopecten irradians irradians) with the Peruvian scallop (Argopecten purpuratus). Orange color variant of adductor muscle have been developed through successive selective breeding in this strain. In the present study, transcriptomic was conducted on orange and white adductor muscle tissues. Transcriptomic analysis showeds 416 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between white and orange adductor muscle tissues in Boihai Red Scallop, with 216 up regulated and 200 down. In DEGs, apolipophorin, CYP450 and tyrosinase were expressed highly in orange adductor muscle tissues, which related to carotenoids or melanin. It is probable that not only carotenoids, but also melanin act on orange color of adductor muscle. This study provides valuable genetic resources for understanding underlying mechanisms and pathways of adductor muscle color.

Project description:Differential expression analysis of gill tissues of bay scallop (Argopecten irradians) exposed to palmitoleic acid at a concentration of 80 mg/L for 48 h.
Project description:We produced RNA-seq data from mantle tissue of the King Scallop, Pecten maximus, and identified expression of pathways involved in pigmentation of the shell.
Project description:To explore the protein components for scallop byssus, the soluble fractions of scallop byssus was extract. For mass spectrometric analysis, proteins were extracted from byssal adhesive plaques, and the whole protein smple was treated with trypsin and analyzed using Thermo Fisher Q Exactive Mass Spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). The mass spectrometry raw data were searched against the full set of predicted proteins from the C. farreri genome and Transcriptome using Mascot v2.3.0 (Matrix Science, London, UK).
Project description:To explore the protein components for scallop byssus, the soluble fractions of scallop byssus was extract. For mass spectrometric analysis, proteins were extracted from byssal adhesive plaques, and the major SDS-PAGE fractions was treated with trypsin and analyzed using an Easy-nLC nanoflow HPLC system connected to an Orbitrap Elite mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). The mass spectrometry raw data were searched against the full set of predicted proteins from the C. farreri genome using Mascot v2.3.0 (Matrix Science, London, UK).
