Abstract Background The Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis is an ecologically
and economically relevant edible marine bivalve, highly invasive and resilient to biotic and …

The presence of doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) in bivalves represents a unique mode
of mitochondrial transmission, whereby paternal (male-transmitted M-type) and maternal …

Background Large numbers of endemic species inhabit subantarctic continental coasts and
islands that are characterised by highly variable environmental conditions. Southern …

Mitochondrial epigenetics, particularly mtDNA methylation, is a flourishing field of research.
MtDNA methylation appears to play multiple roles, including regulating mitochondrial …

In most animals, mitochondrial DNA is strictly maternally inherited and non-recombining.
One exception to this pattern is called doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI), a phenomenon …

The factors affecting sex determination remain largely unknown for most bivalve species.
Environmental factors, such as temperature, are known to influence sex determination in …

L'épigénétique se rapporte à un ensemble de mécanismes qui modifient l'expression des
gènes sans modifier la séquence nucléotidique sous-jacente, produisant une large gamme …

L'accroissement de la population humaine mondiale a des répercussions majeures, ce n'est
donc pas surprenant, compte tenu de la nécessité de nourrir une population grandissante …

Genomic DNA was extracted from the mantle tissue of Lola using the CTAB method and
further cleaned with the QIAGEN Genomic-tip protocol (Hilden, Germany). The DNA quantity …
