Genus of bivalves
Magallana is a genus of
true oysters (family
Ostreidae ) containing some of the most important oysters used for food. Species in this genus have been moved from
Crassostrea after it was found to be
paraphyletic .

Genetics
The genome of Magallana gigas has been recently sequenced
[5] revealing an extensive set of genes that enable it to cope with environmental stresses.
