Integrative proteome and metabolome analyses reveal molecular basis underlying growth and nutrient composition in the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas

In this study, two C. gigas strains with contrasted phenotypes in growth and shell color provided an ideal model for unraveling the molecular basis of growth and nutrient composition through a comparison of the proteome and metabolome. Since proteins and metabolites are the critical undertakers and the end products of cellular regulatory processes, identifying the differentially expressed proteins and metabolites would allow for discovering biomarkers and pathways that were implicated in cell growth, proliferation, and other critical functions. This work provides valuable resources in assistance with molecular breeding of oyster strains with superior production traits of fast-growth and high-quality nutrient value.PMID:37838097 | DOI:10.1016/j.jprot.2023.105021
