A Simple Method for RNA-Seq of Manually Isolated Chromatophores in Oryzias Fishes. [PDF]
Dev Growth DifferABSTRACT RNA sequencing (RNA‐seq) has become an essential tool for analyzing gene expression and exploring cell type–specific transcriptomes. However, sample preparation and quality control remain challenging, as current approaches typically rely on dissecting tissues containing mixed cell populations or using flow cytometry to isolate fluorescently ...

Characterization of the Leucistic Texas Rat Snake Pantherophis obsoletus
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Albinism and leucism are phenotypes resulting from impaired melanin pigmentation in the skin and skin appendages. However, melanin pigmentation of eyes remains unaffected in leucism.

Body coloration and mechanisms of colour production in Archelosauria: the case of deirocheline turtles [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Animal body coloration is a complex trait resulting from the interplay of multiple mechanisms. While many studies address the functions of animal coloration, the mechanisms of colour production still remain unknown in most taxa.

Jurnal Ilmiah Perikanan dan Kelautan, 2023 The decreased color intensity of Nemo is related to the amount of carotenoid concentration in the xanthophore of Nemo's skin. Therefore, efforts are needed to maintain stable carotenoid production. Tomato is one of the most abundant carotenoid producers.

Leucophores are similar to xanthophores in their specification and differentiation processes in medaka [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 Significance Body color plays an important role in the diversity and speciation of vertebrates. In this paper, we revealed that three loci in medaka, leucophore free ( lf ), lf-2 , and white leucophore , which affect leucophores and ...

The Early Development of the Blue-Eye Cichlid, Cryptoheros spilurus (Cichliformes: Cichlidae). [PDF]
Evol DevWe document the early development of Cryptoheros spilurus, highlighting rapid cranial differentiation, sensory organ formation, and fin development. Ontogenetic allometry and ultrastructural traits reveal functional adaptations for early foraging and locomotion, offering insights into ecological success and the developmental basis of cichlid ...
