Investigating diet as the source of tetrodotoxin in Pleurobranchaea maculata [PDF]

, 2014
The origin of tetrodotoxin (TTX) is highly debated; researchers have postulated either an endogenous or exogenous source with the host accumulating TTX symbiotically or via food chain transmission.

Molecular cloning, promoter analysis and induced expression of the complement component C9 gene in the grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella [PDF]

, 2007
Complement-mediated killing of pathogens through lytic pathway is an important effector mechanism of innate immune response. C9 is the ninth member of complement components, creating the membrane attack complex (MAC).

RHESUS PROTEINS PUMP PUFFERFISH AMMONIA [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2010
![Figure][1] Ammonia is an extremely unpleasant and toxic compound, which is very inconvenient for fish; they produce it as the end product of nitrogen metabolism. How fish handle ammonium excretion has long fascinated physiologists.

Chromosomal-level assembly of the Asian Seabass genome using long sequence reads and multi-layered scaffolding [PDF]

, 2016
We report here the ~670 Mb genome assembly of the Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer), a tropical marine teleost. We used long-read sequencing augmented by transcriptomics, optical and genetic mapping along with shared synteny from closely related fish ...

Adaptive evolution of scn4aa in Takifugu and Tetraodon

Aquaculture and Fisheries
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin firstly discovered in the ovary of pufferfish. The genetic basis of voltage-gated sodium channel resistance to TTX has been widely studied, but it remains unclear in the evolution history of voltage-gated sodium ...
