The paper presents a chromosome-level reference genome for the European flat oyster, enabling high-resolution genomics for conservation and aquaculture.

Genome-wide association and genomic prediction of growth traits in the European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis)

This study evaluates genomic selection for improving growth traits in European flat oysters using low-density SNP panels and finds that similar prediction accuracies can be achieved with fewer markers.

A chromosome-level genome assembly for the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas)

This paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for the Pacific oyster, improving contiguity and annotation compared to previous assemblies.

Potential of genomic selection for improvement of resistance to Ostreid Herpes virus in Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas)

This study evaluates genomic selection for improving Pacific oyster resistance to Ostreid herpesvirus, finding it more accurate than pedigree-based methods and showing low SNP density can suffice for effective breeding.

A genome-wide association study for host resistance to Ostreid Herpesvirus in Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas)

This study identifies a genomic region associated with resistance to Ostreid Herpesvirus in Pacific oysters using a genome-wide association study and linkage mapping.
