Prior Indigenous Technological Species [PDF]

International Journal of Astrobiology, 2017
One of the primary open questions of astrobiology is whether there is extant or extinct life elsewhere the Solar System. Implicit in much of this work is that we are looking for microbial or, at best, unintelligent life, even though technological ...

Liver Transcriptomic Analysis of the Effects of Dietary Fish Oil Revealed a Regulated Expression Pattern of Genes in Adult Female Spotted Scat (Scatophagus argus)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Despite the significance of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 LC-PUFA) in fish oil in promoting the maturation of female broodstocks, the detailed mechanism of the effect on the expression of hepatic reproduction-related genes is still ...

Characterization and expression analysis of gpr173a and gpr173b revealed their involvement in reproductive regulation in spotted scat (Scatophagus argus)

Aquaculture Reports, 2022
Spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) is an economically important mariculture fish worldwide. However, its latent mechanisms of reproductive regulation remain unclear. G protein-coupled receptor 173 (GPR173) is the putative receptor of phoenixin (Pnx), which

Ovary transcriptomic analysis reveals regulation effects of dietary fish oil on hormone, lipid, and glucose metabolism in female adult spotted scat (Scatophagus argus)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
In the aquaculture industry, fish oil is widely used as a nutritional supplement to promote the gonadal maturation of broodstocks, while the mechanism of fish oil on ovary development remain unclear.

Selection of Reference Gene for Expression Studies in the Ovary and Pituitary of Spotted Scat (Scatophagus argus) at Different Ovarian Stages

Fishes, 2023
The spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) is the most widely commercially cultured fish in eastern and southern Asia that possess potential economic value. However, up to date, there are no studies reported on the selection of suitable reference genes in this

Identification and ovarian developmental regulation of Insulin-like growth factor 3 in spotted scat (Scatophagus argus)

Aquaculture Reports, 2021
Insulin-like growth factor 3 (IGF3), a newly discovered member of the IGF family in teleosts, plays a vital role in the reproduction system of fishes. Therefore, this study explored the spotted scat (Scatophagus argus), which is an aquaculture species of
