Genomics of the Pacific Oyster Crassostrea gigas

  • Chapter
Aquatic Genomics

Summary

Mapping and sequencing of the biologically significant genes in the oyster genome will provide an invaluable information to the basic fishery sciences as well as the development of new biotechnologies necessary to improve the oyster farming. Thus, we initiated the genomic analysis of the Pacific oyster C. gigas by preparing various cDNA libraries and genomic BAC library. Here, we report initial characterizations of these oyster DNA libraries.
