Abstract excerpt
Oysters accumulate high concentrations of zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu), which can be transferred to human due to sea food consumption. Breeding new oyster varieties with low Zn and Cu accumulations is one important way to improve food safety. However, the genetic basis for metal accumulation in mollusks is not well understood. To address this issue, oysters collected in the field were used for genome-wide...
