Sexual reproduction is prevalent across diverse taxa. However, sex-determination
mechanisms are so diverse that even closely related species often differ in sex …

Aquaculture is one of the most efficient modes of animal protein production and plays an
important role in global food security. Aquaculture animals exhibit extraordinarily diverse …

A diverse array of sex determination (SD) mechanisms, encompassing environmental to
genetic, have been found to exist among vertebrates, covering a spectrum from fixed SD …

Aging is among the most important risk factors for morbidity and mortality. To contribute
toward a molecular understanding of aging, we analyzed age-resolved transcriptomic data …

The discovery of the Sry gene in 1990 triggered a revolution in our understanding of sex
determination. More recently, advances in non-model organisms have been fuelled by the …

Genomic analysis of many nonmodel species has uncovered an incredible diversity of sex
chromosome systems, making it possible to empirically test the rich body of evolutionary …

Gut bacteria occupy the interface between the organism and the external environment,
contributing to homeostasis and disease. Yet, the causal role of the gut microbiota during …

INTRODUCTION The ability to regenerate tissues lost to damage or disease is widely but
nonuniformly distributed in vertebrates. Some animals such as teleost fishes can regenerate …

Aging negatively impacts vitality and health. Many genetic pathways that regulate aging
were discovered in invertebrates. However, the genetics of aging is more complex in …

Most research on mechanisms of aging is being conducted in a very limited number of
classical model species, ie, laboratory mouse (Mus musculus), rat (Rattus norvegicus …
