Developing tools to advance reproductive control in oysters

Explore alternatives to triploidy for producing sterile oysters. Single-cell RNA sequencing of oyster embryos identifies primordial germ-cell development and candidate genes, which are then investigated through gene-silencing approaches. The work connects developmental characterisation with tools for reproductive control while addressing the survival limitations associated with current methods.
