The agouti gene in black and brown alpaca
, 2013 The agouti gene encodes agouti signalling protein (ASIP) which regulates pheomelanin and eumelanin synthesis in mammals. To investigate the role of agouti in coat color variation of alpaca, we characterised the agouti gene on 27 black and 12 brown ...

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract A recent study showed that female medaka lacking the estrogen receptor gene esr2b are unreceptive to male courtship and instead court other females. In this study, we investigated the brain transcriptome of esr2b‐deficient females to explore the underlying mechanisms of this behavioral phenotype, and identified npyb, one of the two ...

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract This study evaluated the effects of different dietary methionine (Met) levels on the feeding, growth, and protein metabolism of Chinese perch, Siniperca chuatsi. Six diets containing graded levels of Met (0.88%, 1.11%, 1.68%, 2.02%, 2.27%, and 2.72%) were fed to fish (initial weight: 13.74 ± 0.12 g) for 8 weeks.
