Oca2 targeting using CRISPR/Cas9 in the Malawi cichlid Astatotilapia calliptera
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Identifying genetic loci underlying trait variation provides insights into the mechanisms of diversification, but demonstrating causality and characterizing the role of genetic loci requires testing candidate gene function, often in non-model species ...

The Evolutionary Dynamics of the Mitochondrial tRNA in the Cichlid Fish Family
Biology, 2022 The mitochondrial transfer RNA genes (tRNAs) attract more attention due to their highly dynamic and rapidly evolving nature. The current study aimed to detect and evaluate the dynamics, characteristic patterns, and variations of mitochondrial tRNAs.

Cichlids and stingrays can add and subtract ‘one’ in the number space from one to five
Scientific Reports, 2022 The numerical understanding of cichlids and stingrays was examined regarding addition and subtraction abilities within the number space of one to five. Experiments were conducted as two-alternative forced-choice experiments, using a delayed matching to ...

Mitochondrial genome annotation and phylogenetic placement of Oreochromis andersonii and O. macrochir among the cichlids of southern Africa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Genetic characterization of southern African cichlids has not received much attention. Here, we describe the mitogenome sequences and phylogenetic positioning of Oreochromis andersonii and O. macrochir among the African cichlids.
