Recent studies have unveiled the deep sea as a rich biosphere, populated by species
descended from shallow-water ancestors post-mass extinctions. Research on genomic …

Marine mussels inhabit a wide range of ocean depths, necessitating unique adaptations to
cope with varying hydrostatic pressures. This study investigates the transcriptomic …

Background Chiridota heheva is a cosmopolitan holothurian well adapted to diverse deep-
