Traditional molecular methods and omics-techniques across molluscan taxonomy
increasingly inform biology of Mollusca. Recovery of DNA and RNA for such studies is …

The selection of a DNA extraction method is a critical step when subsequent analysis
depends on the DNA quality and quantity. Unlike mammals, for which several capable DNA …

Isolation of high molecular weight DNA from gastropod molluscs and its subsequent PCR
amplification is considered difficult due to excessive mucopolysaccharides secretion which …

Background DNA isolation and PCR amplification from molluscan taxa is considered as
problematic because polysaccharides in tissue and mucus presumably co-precipitate with …

Next-generation sequencing technologies, such as Nanopore MinION, Illumina Hiseq and
Novaseq, and PacBio Sequel II, hold immense potential for advancing genomic research on …

Abstract Ostreid herpesvirus-1 microvariants (OsHV-1) cause severe mortalities in farmed
Crassostrea gigas in Europe, New Zealand and Australia. Outbreaks are seasonal, recurring …

Trematodiases are diseases caused by snail-borne trematode parasites that infect both
animals and humans. Fascioliasis, schistosomiasis and paramphistomosis are some of …

Museum collections provide indispensable repositories for obtaining information about the
historical presence of disease in wildlife populations. The pathogenic amphibian chytrid …

Estimation of selection response and genealogical tracing in family mixtures require an
appropriate tool for parentage analysis. In this study, we tested 19 marker loci for parentage …

The freshwater molluscs fauna from Banat comprises 61 species (41 of gastropods and 20
of bivalves). 10 species were newly identified in this area by the authors. This paper's aim is …
