Genome Size Evolution in Pufferfish: A Comparative Analysis of Diodontid and Tetraodontid Pufferfish Genomes [PDF]
Genome Research, 2003 Smooth pufferfish of the family Tetraodontidae have the smallest vertebrate genomes yet measured. They have a haploid genome size of ∼400 million bp (Mb), which is almost eight times smaller than the human genome. Given that spiny pufferfish from the sister family Diodontidae and a fish from the outgroup Molidae have genomes twice as large as smooth ...

Marine Drugs, 2018 Although pufferfish of the family Tetraodontidae contain high levels of tetrodotoxin (TTX) mainly in the liver, some species of pufferfish, boxfish of the family Ostraciidae, and porcupinefish of the family Diodontidae do not.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 The present study was undertaken to determine the amounts of tetrodotoxin (TTX) and its analogs (TTXs) in various tissues of toxin-bearing pufferfish (Canthigaster revulata and Takifugu flavipterus) and newt (Cynops pyrrhogaster) using specific ...

No evidence for a culturable bacterial tetrodotoxin producer in Pleurobranchaea maculata (Gastropoda: Pleurobranchidae) and Stylochoplana sp. (Platyhelminthes: Polycladida) [PDF]
, 2015 Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin found in the tissues of many taxonomically diverse organisms. Its origin has been the topic of much debate, with suggestions including endogenous production, acquisition through diet, and symbiotic bacterial ...

Approximation of Pufferfish Privacy for Gaussian Priors [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and SecurityThis paper studies how to approximate pufferfish privacy when the adversary’s prior belief of the published data is Gaussian distributed. Using Monge’s optimal transport plan, we show that $(\epsilon , \delta )$ -pufferfish privacy is attained if the ...

Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) and tetrodotoxin (TTX) of Korean pufferfish
Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2021 Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) and tetrodotoxin (TTX) are neurotoxins that display pharmacological activity that is similar to that of specific sodium channel blockers; they are the principle toxins involved in ...

GlobalFestival: Evaluating Real World Interaction on a Spherical Display [PDF]
, 2015 Spherical displays present compelling opportunities for interaction in public spaces. However, there is little research into how touch interaction should control a spherical surface or how these displays are used in real world settings.

Verifying Pufferfish Privacy in Hidden Markov Models [PDF]
, 2022 Pufferfish is a Bayesian privacy framework for designing and analyzing privacy mechanisms. It refines differential privacy, the current gold standard in data privacy, by allowing explicit prior knowledge in privacy analysis. Through these privacy frameworks, a number of privacy mechanisms have been developed in literature.

Inverse relationship between genetic diversity and epigenetic complexity [PDF]
, 2008 Early studies of molecular evolution revealed a correlation between genetic distance and time of species divergence. This observation provoked the molecular clock hypothesis and in turn the ‘Neutral Theory’, which however remains an ...

Hybrid Antibody–Aptamer Assay for Detection of Tetrodotoxin in Pufferfish
Analytical Chemistry, 2021 The marine toxin tetrodotoxin (TTX) poses a great risk to public health safety due to its severe paralytic effects after ingestion. Seafood poisoning caused by the consumption of contaminated marine species like pufferfish due to its expansion to ...
