Characterizing the Small Non-Coding RNA Pathways in the Invasive Zebra Mussel ( <i>Dreissena polymorpha</i> )

2026-07-11

Abstract excerpt

The zebra mussel ( Dreissena polymorpha ) is an invasive species that causes extensive economic and ecological damage. Here, we identify and characterize the key components of the small RNA (sRNA) and RNA interference (RNAi) pathways in zebra mussels. Like other mollusks, zebra mussels have extensive microRNA (miRNA) and Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) machinery but lack or have modified canonical factors needed to...
