Studies on cell atlas in marine invertebrates provide a better understanding of cell types, stem cell maintenance, and lineages of cell differentiation. To investigate the molecular features of various cell types in molluscan muscles, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to map cell t...
