Insights into shell deposition in the Antarctic bivalve <it>Laternula elliptica</it>: gene discovery in the mantle transcriptome using 454 pyrosequencing
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The Antarctic clam, <it>Laternula elliptica</it>, is an infaunal stenothermal bivalve mollusc with a circumpolar distribution. It plays a significant role in bentho-pelagic coupling and hence has been proposed as a sentin...
