Investigations into the perplexing interrelationship of the Genus Takifugu Abe, 1949 (Tetraodontiformes, Tetraodontidae) [PDF]
, 2008 The phylogenetic relationships within the genus Takifugu Abe, 1949 (Tetraodontiformes, Tetraodontidae) remain unresolved. Because of the use of Takifugu as model organisms, the resolution of these relationships is crucial for the interpretation of ...

Repertoire of Protein Kinases Encoded in the Genome ofTakifugu rubripes [PDF]
Comparative and Functional Genomics, 2012 Takifugu rubripesis teleost fish widely used in comparative genomics to understand the human system better due to its similarities both in number of genes and structure of genes. In this work we survey the fugu genome, and, using sensitive computational approaches, we identify the repertoire of putative protein kinases and classify them into groups and

Distribution of Toxicity in Liver of Wild Pufferfish Takifugu rubripes
Food Hygiene and Safety Science (Shokuhin Eiseigaku Zasshi), 2013 Livers from wild pufferfish, Takifugu rubripes, can be described as having a smooth frontal side and an upper-region that is attached to the hepatic portal vein. Based on this description, the liver can be divided into 10 parts (L1-5 and R1-5), and in this work, the lethal potency of each part was determined by mouse bioassay. Among the raw livers from
