Phylogenetic context of a deep-sea clam (Bivalvia: Vesicomyidae) revealed by DNA from 1,500-year-old shells
Demonstrate the potential of high-throughput sequencing of shell DNA in unlocking the history of diversity and evolution of deep-sea mollusks inhabiting chemosynthesis-based ecosystems, especially for those sub-fossil species and modern species that were described solely based on shell morphology.
