Gene expression levels of 10 selected genes in M. virgata. FO: foot; MR: mantle rim; GI: gills; PM: posterior adductor muscle; DG: digestive gland. “1”, “2” and “3” indicate the three biological replicates. Histogram bars represent the expression relative to housekeeping genes elongation factor 1 alpha and ribosomal protein S2. Error bars represent the standard deviation of three technical replicates
