Transcriptome of Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) gill tissue
The Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) is a commercially significant bivalve species. This project investigates the transcriptomic profiles of the gill tissue after injecting Manila clams with different bacterial strains. The aim is to compare the protective and pathogenic effects of these strains on the clams. The RNA-seq data generated will provide valuable insights into the host's immune responses and the molecular mechanisms underlying the clams' susceptibility or resistance to bacterial infection.
