Lucinid clam gills containing DNA of host and bacterial symbionts - Metagenom...

We sampled lucinid clams, sequenced all the DNA in their gills, and assembled it to metagenomes to study their bacterial chemosymbionts at the genomic level.

我们采集了露新蛤样本，对其鳃中的全部DNA完成测序，并将所得序列组装为宏基因组（metagenome），以在基因组层面研究其体内的细菌化学共生体。
