Copper induces expression and methylation changes of early development genes in Crassostrea gigas embryos
International audience Copper contamination is widespread along coastal areas and exerts adverse effects on marine organisms such as mollusks. In the Pacific oyster, copper induces severe developmental abnormalities during early life stages; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms are largely u...

International audience Copper contamination is widespread along coastal areas and exerts adverse effects on marine organisms such as mollusks.
