Fish biology has been developed for more than 100 years, but some important
breakthroughs have been made in the last decade. Early studies commonly concentrated on …

High-throughput sequencing technologies have been extensively applied to genetics and
breeding in the aquaculture industry. To date, many aquaculture animal genomes have …

Sturgeons seem to be frozen in time. The archaic characteristics of this ancient fish lineage
place it in a key phylogenetic position at the base of the~ 30,000 modern teleost fish …

Zebrafish, a popular organism for studying embryonic development and for modeling human
diseases, has so far lacked a systematic functional annotation program akin to those in other …

As the only surviving lineages of jawless fishes, hagfishes and lampreys provide a crucial
window into early vertebrate evolution,–. Here we investigate the complex history, timing …

Triploids are rare in nature because of difficulties in meiotic and gametogenic processes,
especially in vertebrates. The Carassius complex of cyprinid teleosts contains sexual …

Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is an allotetraploid species derived from recent whole
genome duplication and provides a model to study polyploid genome evolution in …

How two subgenomes in allo-tetraploids adapt to coexistence and coordinate through
structure and expression evolution requires extensive studies. In the present study, we …

Hybridization brings together chromosome sets from two or more distinct progenitor species.
Genome duplication associated with hybridization, or allopolyploidy, allows these …

Currently, the dynamic accessible elements that determine regulatory programs responsible
for the unique identity and function of each cell type during zebrafish embryogenesis lack …
