The two oyster species studied hold considerable economic importance for artisanal harvest (Crassostrea rhizophorae) and aquaculture (Crassostrea gasar). Their draft genomes will play an important role in the application of genomic methods such as RNAseq, population-based genomic scans aiming at addressing expression responses to pollution stress, adaptation to salinity and temperature variation, and will also permit investigating the genetic bases and enable marker-assisted selection of economically important traits like shell and mantle coloration and resistance to temperature and disease.
