The complete mitochondrial genome of snailfish Liparis tanakae Gilbert & Burke, 1912 (Perciformes: Cottioidei: Liparidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022 Mitochondrial genome is maternal inheritance that provides higher resolution in taxonomic and phylogenetic research. The absence of complete mitogenome becomes an obstacle to further research.

Genomic Characterization of a Novel Gut Symbiont From the Hadal Snailfish [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Hadal trenches are characterized by not only high hydrostatic pressure but also scarcity of nutrients and high diversity of viruses. Snailfishes, as the dominant vertebrates, play an important role in hadal ecology.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of hadal snailfish reveals mechanisms of deep-sea adaptation in vertebrates [PDF]
eLife, 2023 As the deepest vertebrate in the ocean, the hadal snailfish (Pseudoliparis swirei), which lives at a depth of 6,000–8,000 m, is a representative case for studying adaptation to extreme environments.

Microbiomes of Hadal Fishes across Trench Habitats Contain Similar Taxa and Known Piezophiles [PDF]
mSphere, 2022 Hadal snailfishes are the deepest-living fishes in the ocean, inhabiting trenches from depths of ∼6,000 to 8,000 m. While the microbial communities in trench environments have begun to be characterized, the microbes associated with hadal megafauna remain

Whole genome sequencing of a snailfish from the Yap Trench (~7,000 m) clarifies the molecular mechanisms underlying adaptation to the deep sea. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2021 Hadal environments (depths below 6,000 m) are characterized by extremely high hydrostatic pressures, low temperatures, a scarce food supply, and little light.

Mitogenomic Phylogeny and Adaptive Evolution of Snailfishes (Liparidae) Reveal Correlation Between tRNA Rearrangements and Deep-Sea Colonization [PDF]
BiologyThe snailfish family (Liparidae) represents one of the most rapidly speciating and ecologically diverse lineages of marine fishes, with species distributed across a broad bathymetric range from intertidal zones to the hadal depths.

Convergent evolution of type I antifreeze proteins from four different progenitors in response to global cooling [PDF]
BMC Molecular and Cell BiologyAlanine-rich, alpha-helical type I antifreeze proteins (AFPs) in fishes are thought to have arisen independently in the last 30 Ma on at least four occasions.

Phylogenetic Analysis of Core Melanin Synthesis Genes Provides Novel Insights Into the Molecular Basis of Albinism in Fish [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Melanin is the most prevalent pigment in animals. Its synthesis involves a series of functional genes. Particularly, teleosts have more copies of these genes related to the melanin synthesis than tetrapods.

Expression and molecular characterization of an intriguing hyaluronan synthase (HAS) from the symbiont “Candidatus Mycoplasma liparidae” in snailfish [PDF]
PeerJBackground Hyaluronan synthases (HASs) are ubiquitous in living organisms, and the hyaluronic acid (HA) synthesized by them are important to their body and well used in medicine, cosmetics and other fields.
