RNA sequences obtained were assembled, annotated and potential molecular markers, including simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified. Mussels representing four taxa, were collected from several localities and RNA from mantle tissue was extracted. To further understanding in these areas, this study aimed to characterize and compare mantle transcriptomes of four mussel taxa using next generation sequencing. remain unclear, as does taxonomy of Mytilus taxa, though there have been many molecular studies. Despite this importance, the proteins involved in the biomineralization and pigmentation processes in Mytilus spp. Mussels are marine bivalves with important commercial and ecological value worldwide. Changing environmental conditions, such as ocean acidification, influence shell strength and thus protection of the soft body within. In molluscs, the shell secreted by mantle tissue during the biomineralization process is the first barrier against predators and mechanical damage. and identification of putative biomineralization genes.
