Transcriptomic analysis of mantle tissues with different colors in Bellamy Purificata

The snail Bellamya purificata is an ecologically and economically important freshwater gastropod species. However, limited genomic resources are available for this snail. In this study, the transcriptome of mantle tissues of B. purificata with two shell colors (namely light-cyan line (LC) and light-purple line (LP)) were deeply sequenced and characterized.
