The nearly complete mitochondrial genome of the door snail (Stylommatophora: Clausiliidae) and phylogenetic analysis.

The family Clausiliidae was proposed as a model for studying the diversity of breeding biology in land snails. This study assembled a nearly complete mitogenome (15,417 bp) for the clausiliid snail . The mitogenome includes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNAs, and 22 transfer RNAs, with a gene order consistent with other clausiliids.

Genome-wide identification and characterization of the HSP gene superfamily in apple snails (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae) and expression analysis under temperature stress.

Apple snails from the family Ampullariidae have become economically important due to several species mainly from the genus Pomacea being invasive. The heat shock proteins (HSPs), which are important molecular chaperones for species responding to various stresses, have been proved to play critical roles in adapting harsh environments in the invasive apple snails. The recent release of the genomes of Pomacea canaliculata, Pomacea maculata, Lanistes nyassanus, and Marisa cornuarietis has opened the opportunity for a comprehensive analysis of HSP superfamily in the ampullariids.
