Pacific geoduck (Panopea generosa) resilience to natural pH variation

These results demonstrate that geoduck are resilient to low pH in a natural setting and other abiotic factors may have a greater influence on geoduck physiology. In addition this study contributes to the understanding of how eelgrass patches influence water chemistry.

Opportunities in Functional Genomics: A Primer on Lab and Computational Aspects

An overview of transcriptome sequencing and DNA methylation analyses in shellfish is provided, primarily for those with fundamental interests and training in a different domain. The approaches covered here can provide valuable information on how organisms respond to their environment and also be used to evaluate evolutionary relationships
