The success of opsin analysis relies on efficient extraction, amplification, purification, and sequencing of the opsin gene Gq2. The Gq2 gene was extracted from scallop species to investigate the evolutionary course. The available data allowed for the characterization of the phylogenetic relationships of opsin sequence and morphological and life history traits.
