Sticky problems: extraction of nucleic acids from molluscs

Abstract: Traditional molecular methods and omics-techniques across molluscan taxonomy increasingly inform biology of Mollusca. Recovery of DNA and RNA for such studies is challenged by common biological properties of the highly diverse molluscs. Molluscan biomineralization, adhesive structures and mucus involve polyphenolic proteins and mucopolysaccharides that hinder DNA extraction or copurify to inhibit enzyme-catalysed molecular procedures. DNA extraction methods that employ the detergent hexadecyltrimethylammoniumb… Show more

“…Bivalve genome assembly has classically been hampered by genetic complexities including high heterozygosity and repeat content (Davison & Neiman, 2021 ), along with the challenge of extracting pure high molecular weight DNA (Adema, 2021 ). However, recent advances in long‐read sequencing technologies have enabled high‐quality genome sequences to be generated for multiple bivalves, including C. gigas (Peñaloza et al, 2021 ; Qi et al, 2021 ), the scallop Pecten maximus (Kenny et al, 2020 ) and hard clam Mercenaria mercenaria (Farhat et al, 2022 ; Song et al, 2021 ).…”

“…The directions outlined in these papers may directly shape decisions regarding project design (e.g. how to best extract DNA [2] and which genomic technologies to use [3]). They should also inspire research aimed at testing hypotheses posed and questions raised by our authors.…”

“…Now, the quality of the output mainly depends upon the input material (DNA), the bioinformatic methods that are used to extract the data and assemble the genomes, and the platforms upon which we store and make the data accessible for (re)use. This Theo Murphy issue therefore opens with a timely review on the extraction of nucleic acids from molluscs [2], the value of which was noted by a referee as ‘very rare, yet of extremely high value: the collection of informal knowledge, which is essentially fed by experiments and experiences that, because they were unsuccessful, never made it into official literature’.…”
