What is it about?
Our transcriptome dataset provides a comprehensive sequence resource for enrichment of the genetic databases of non-model organisms such as Bivalves. It is the first characterization of expressed sequences from embryos and larvae of the mollusk M. trossulus from the Sea of Japan including the identification of of candidate genes involved in cell adhesion.

Why is it important?
The present study provides a transcriptome that can serve as a reference for future studies of functional development of this important bivalve group in the marine ecosystems.
Perspectives
We suggest that β integrin-like genes have different functions during the mussel life cycle but always connect with cell adhesion and cell matrix remodeling, that is typical for multicellular animals.
