The Sex-Determining Locus in the Tiger Pufferfish,Takifugu rubripes [PDF]
Genetics, 2007 AbstractThe tiger pufferfish (fugu), Takifugu rubripes, is a model fish that has had its genome entirely sequenced. By performing genomewide linkage analyses, we show that the sex of fugu is determined by a single chromosomal region on linkage group 19 in an XX–XY system.

Boric acid transport activity of marine teleost aquaporins expressed in Xenopus oocytes
Physiological Reports, 2023 Marine teleosts ingest large amounts of seawater containing various ions, including 0.4 mM boric acid, which can accumulate at toxic levels in the body. However, the molecular mechanisms by which marine teleosts absorb and excrete boric acid are not well

Tetraodon genome confirms Takifugu findings : most fish are ancient polyploids [PDF]
, 2004 An evolutionary hypothesis suggested by studies of the genome of the tiger pufferfish Takifugu rubripes has now been confirmed by comparison with the genome of a close relative, the spotted green pufferfish Tetraodon nigroviridis.

Deep sequencing, profiling and detailed annotation of microRNAs in Takifugu rubripes. [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2015 microRNAs (miRNAs) in fish have not been as extensively studied as those in mammals. The fish species Takifugu rubripes is an intensively studied model organism whose genome has been sequenced. The T. rubripes genome is approximately eight times smaller than the human genome, but has a similar repertoire of protein-coding genes. Therefore, it is useful

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.

Structural basis of template-boundary definition in Tetrahymena telomerase. [PDF]
, 2015 Telomerase is required to maintain repetitive G-rich telomeric DNA sequences at chromosome ends. To do so, the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) subunit reiteratively uses a small region of the integral telomerase RNA (TER) as a template.

Takifugu obscurus is a euryhaline fugu species very close to Takifugu rubripes and suitable for studying osmoregulation [PDF]
BMC Physiology, 2005 AbstractBackgroundThe genome sequence of the pufferfishTakifugu rubripesis an enormously useful tool in the molecular physiology of fish. Euryhaline fish that can survive both in freshwater (FW) and seawater (SW) are also very useful for studying fish physiology, especially osmoregulation.

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 ...
