A Simple Method for RNA-Seq of Manually Isolated Chromatophores in Oryzias Fishes. [PDF]

open access: yesDev Growth Differ
ABSTRACT RNA sequencing (RNA‐seq) has become an essential tool for analyzing gene expression and exploring cell type–specific transcriptomes. However, sample preparation and quality control remain challenging, as current approaches typically rely on dissecting tissues containing mixed cell populations or using flow cytometry to isolate fluorescently ...

Maintenance of melanophore morphology and survival is cathepsin and vps11 dependent in zebrafish. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Here, we characterize a Danio rerio zebrafish pigment cell mutant (melanophore integrity mutant), which displays a defect in maintenance of melanophore and iridophore number.

SLC24A5 plays fundamental roles in regulating melanophore development in Cyprinidae fish

open access: yesReproduction and Breeding, 2021
The mechanism of color pattern formation in animals is complicated. Oujiang color common carp (Cyprinus carpio var. color) is an excellent fish model for studying the molecular mechanism of pigmentation.

Butylparaben Exposure Induced Darker Skin Pigmentation in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

open access: yesToxics, 2023
Butylparaben (BuP), as an emerging contaminant with endocrine-disrupting effects, may exert effects on skin pigmentation in fish by interfering with the neuroendocrine system. Therefore, models of BuP exposure in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) were

Anterior-posterior gene expression differences in three Lake Malawi cichlid fishes with variation in body stripe orientation [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2017
Morphological differentiation among closely related species provides opportunities to study mechanisms shaping natural phenotypic variation. Here, we address variation in the orientation of melanin-colored body stripes in three cichlid species of the ...

Taisho-Sanshoku koi have hardly faded skin and show attenuated melanophore sensitivity to adrenaline and melanin-concentrating hormone

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
IntroductionKoi carp, an ornamental fish derived from the common carp Cyprinus carpio (CC), is characterized by beautiful skin color patterns. However, the mechanism that gives rise to the characteristic vivid skin coloration of koi carp has not been ...

Type II Opsins in the Eye, the Pineal Complex and the Skin of Xenopus laevis: Using Changes in Skin Pigmentation as a Readout of Visual and Circadian Activity

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2022
The eye, the pineal complex and the skin are important photosensitive organs. The African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, senses light from the environment and adjusts skin color accordingly.

A new species of Satanoperca (Teleostei: Cichlidae) from the Rio Tocantins basin, Brazil

open access: yesNeotropical Ichthyology, 2021
A new species of Satanoperca is described from the Rio Araguaia, Rio Tocantins basin, Brazil, and non-native records are available in the upper Rio Paraná basin. It differs from congeneric species by color pattern characters, such as head and flank marks.
