Amusium pleuronectes (Linnaeus) that secretes red- and white-colored valves in two branches of mantle tissues is an excellent model for shell color research. High-throughput transcriptome sequencing a
RNA-Seq is a whole-transcriptome quantification method and is the next step forward after microarrays. Using this methodology, we studied the global transcriptome of naïve mussels from mantle, muscle
