Transcriptomic study of heat hardening in Mytilus coruscus
This project investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying heat hardening formation and maintenance in Mytilus coruscus. We performed whole transcriptome sequencing of gill tissues at multiple recovery time points (days 1, 3, 7, and 11) after heat hardening. We constructed an LncRNA,miRNA and mRNA regulatory network and identified key genes involved in thermal tolerance. These findings provide insights into the adaptive evolution of marine bivalves under climate change.
