Assessment of sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) diet using DNA metabarcoding of feces

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) are invasive in the Laurentian Great Lakes, parasitize large-bodied fishes, and therefore are the focus of an international control program.

Development of PCR Blocking Primers Enabling DNA Metabarcoding Analysis of Dietary Composition in Hematophagous Sea Lamprey [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Conventional dietary assessments are challenging in hematophagous species, particularly in sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus). However, recent technological developments and molecular approaches have provided an attractive alternative through the use of ...

Genetic and Functional Characterization of Novel Brown-Like Adipocytes Around the Lamprey Brain

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
During the process of vertebrate evolution, many thermogenic organs and mechanisms have appeared. Mammalian brown adipose tissue (BAT) generates heat through the uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation of mitochondria, acts as a natural defense against ...

3D model of lamprey estrogen receptor with estradiol and 15alpha-hydroxy-estradiol. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Lamprey, basal vertebrate, is an important model system for understanding early events in vertebrate evolution. Lamprey contains orthologs of the estrogen receptor [ER], progesterone receptor and corticoid receptor.

Comprehensive Evolutionary Analysis of Lamprey TNFR-Associated Factors (TRAFs) and Receptor-Interacting Protein Kinase (RIPKs) and Insights Into the Functional Characterization of TRAF3/6 and RIPK1

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
TNFR-associated factors (TRAFs) and receptor-interacting protein kinases (RIPKs) are important immunological linker molecules in mammals and play important roles in the TNFα, TLR and IFN signaling pathways.

MicroRNA expression profile in Lampetra morii upon Vibrio anguillarum infection and miR-4561 characterization targeting lip

Communications Biology, 2021
Ma et al characterise differentially expressed miRNAs in Lamprey upon bacterial infection. They identify miR-4561 as being decreased after infection and show that it targets the 3′UTR of the mRNA encoding lamprey immune protein (LIP) involved in lamprey ...

Analysis of sea lamprey environmental DNA during lampricide treatment in a tributary of Lake Ontario

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2020
Sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) is a species of invasive parasitic fish in the Great Lakes region of North America. Accurate estimates of larval lamprey populations in lake tributaries are necessary for making control decisions regarding treatment of ...
