Single-cell perspectives on the function and development of deep-sea mussel bacteriocytes

Abstract

The authors have withdrawn their manuscript because the authors need to re-organize the data and writing, meanwhile more experimental evidence from more RNA-seq replications, immunofluorescence assay and in vivo knock-down assays will be added to support the viewpoints. In this preprint, only one individual of decolonized mussel was employed for transcriptome sequencing while combined data from single cell transcriptomics with in situ hybridization is not enough convincing to draw some of the conclusion. Therefore, the authors do not wish this work to be cited as reference for the project. If you have any questions, please contact the corresponding author.
