Transcriptomic responses to Marteilia sydneyi infection in the Sydney rock oyster Saccostrea glomerata

This study examines the transcriptomic response of Saccostrea glomerata to Marteilia sydneyi infection, identifying differentially expressed genes involved in immune responses and potential resistance markers.

Characterization of the molecular mechanisms of early sexual maturation stages in the Australian greenlip abalone (Haliotis laevigata)

This study identifies key genes and pathways involved in early sexual maturation in greenlip abalone using transcriptomic analysis.

Use of the Pacific oyster (Magallana gigas) as a natural sampler for the detection of Neoparamoeba perurans

The paper evaluates the Pacific oyster as a natural sampler for detecting Neoparamoeba perurans in aquaculture settings, finding it effective for eDNA collection despite no direct correlation between amoeba accumulation and water column reduction.

Transcriptomic stability or lability explains sensitivity to climate stressors in coralline algae

The paper shows that Sporolithon durum, from an earlier diverged lineage, shows little response to climate stressors, while Porolithon onkodes, from a recently diverged lineage, shows significant gene expression changes and reduced photosynthesis.

The iron-responsive genome of the chiton Acanthopleura granulata

This paper presents the genome of Acanthopleura granulata, revealing conserved biomineralization genes and iron-related adaptations in chitons.
