Teleost fish possess an adaptive immune system associated with each of their mucosal
body surfaces. Evidence obtained from mucosal vaccination and mucosal infection studies …

High-throughput sequencing technologies, also known as next-generation sequencing
(NGS) technologies, have revolutionized the way that genomic research is advancing. In …

Catfish represent 12% of teleost or 6.3% of all vertebrate species, and are of enormous
economic value. Here we report a high-quality reference genome sequence of channel …

Advancing the production efficiency and profitability of aquaculture is dependent upon the
ability to utilize a diverse array of genetic resources. The ultimate goals of aquaculture …

Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) recognize the conserved molecular structure of
pathogens and trigger the signaling pathways that activate immune cells in response to …

Transcriptomics is the analysis of total RNA transcript in a cell, which gives a broad idea of
cellular processes that are active and dormant. Recent advancement in next‐generation …

Temperature is one of the most prominent abiotic factors affecting ectotherms. Most fish
species, as ectotherms, have extraordinary ability to deal with a wide range of temperature …

Background Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) have been applied as important
molecular markers in genetics and breeding studies. The rapid advance of next generation …

Background Teleost fishes exhibit remarkably diverse and plastic sexual developmental
patterns. One of the most astonishing is the rapid socially controlled female-to-male …

Hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs) are considered to be the master switch of oxygen-
dependent gene expression with mammalian species. In most cases, regulation of HIF has …
