The BAch project investigates the molecular basis of shell pigmentation in molluscs, focusing on the species Littorina fabalis. Using advanced techniques like gene editing and proteomics, the project aims to uncover the biological functions of shell biochromes and their preservation potential in archaeological contexts…
Molluscs adorn their shells with an incredible diversity of colours and patterns which were highly appreciated since ancient times.
Shell biochromes encode important biological information - they may play a role in immunity, shell strengthening, protection from thermal stress and UV radiation.
They are also extremely durable in time – pigments can be found in fossil shells dating to millions of years.
Could shell biochromes be among the most promising ancient biomolecules?
Despite the great div…
