Allelic variation and duplication of the dmrt1 were associated with sex chromosome turnover in three representative Scatophagidae fish species

Communications Biology
Fish species of the family Scatophagidae possessing known candidate sex-determining genes (male-specific dmrt1Ys), offer suitable models for studying sex chromosome evolution.

Halting indigenous biodiversity decline: ambiguity, equity, and outcomes in RMA assessment of significance [PDF]

, 2008
In New Zealand, assessment of ‘significance’ is undertaken to give effect to a legal requirement for local authorities to provide for protection of significant sites under the Resource Management Act (1991). The ambiguity of the statute enables different

Comparative Analyses of IGF-Induced Liver Transcriptomes Reveal Genes and Signaling Pathways Associated with Ovarian Growth and Development in Golden Pompano (Trachinotus ovatus)

Fishes
Recently, China has become a hotspot for farming golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus), a commercially valuable marine fish. The genetic mechanisms underlying ovarian development, particularly those regulated by insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), remain ...

Identification and functional characterization of Nicol1: A novel peptide regulating feeding in pompano (Trachinotus ovatus)

Aquaculture Reports
NELL2 interacting cell ontogeny regulator 1 (Nicol1) is a novel peptide that has not been identified in fish. To ascertain the neuroendocrine function of Nicol1 in pompano (Trachinotus ovatus), its cDNA sequence was cloned and analyzed. The result showed
