Comprehensive Multi-omics Approaches Provide Insights to Summer Mortality in the Clam Meretrix petechialis
Bivalve mass mortalities have been reported worldwide, which not only can be explained as a result of pathogen infection, but may reflect changes in environments. Although these episodes were often reported, t...

Functional evidence that FGFR regulates MAPK signaling in organizer specification in the gastropod mollusk Lottia peitaihoensis
The D-quadrant organizer sets up the dorsal–ventral (DV) axis and regulates mesodermal development of spiralians. Studies have revealed an important role of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling in...
