The widespread occurrence of repetitive stretches of DNA in genomes of organisms across
the tree of life imposes fundamental challenges for sequencing, genome assembly, and …

Produced water (PW), a large byproduct of offshore oil and gas extraction, is reinjected to
formations or discharged to the sea after treatment. The discharges contain dispersed crude …

Supergenes are sets of genes that are inherited as a single marker and encode complex
phenotypes through their joint action. They are identified in an increasing number of …

Fascinating about classical major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules is their
polymorphism. The present study is a review and discussion of the fish MHC situation. The …

Life on Earth has been characterized by recurring cycles of ecological stasis and disruption,

Repetitive DNA make up a considerable fraction of most eukaryotic genomes. In fish,
transposable element (TE) activity has coincided with rapid species diversification. Here, we …

Background The invasive benthic round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is the most
successful temperate invasive fish and has spread in aquatic ecosystems on both sides of …

The Atlantic cod's unusual immune system, entirely lacking the Major Histocompatibility
class II pathway, has prompted intriguing questions about what mechanisms are used to …
