Abstract Biological soil crusts (BSCs), which are widespread in arid and semiarid regions, such as sandy deserts, strongly influence terrestrial ecosystems. Once sand‐binding vegetation has been established on sand dunes, BSCs colonized gradually develop from cyanobacteria dominated to lichen moss dune surfaces. We conducted this study determine if the occurrence development of Tengger Desert could be used changes via altering moisture water cycling using long‐term monitoring data field...
Abstract Domestication and artificial selection during production-oriented breeding have greatly shaped the level of genomic variability in sheep. However, genetic variation associated with increased reproduction remains elusive. Here, two groups samples from consecutively monotocous polytocous sheep were collected for genome-wide association, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic analyses to explore fecundity Tibetan Genome-wide association study revealed strong associations between BMPR1B...
Abstract Municipal wastewaters have been known to contain various estrogens and androgens. Little is about the joint action of these chemicals from on fishes in aquatic environment. The objectives this study were investigate estrogenic and/or androgenic effects wild mosquitofish ( Gambusia affinis ) two effluent-impacted rivers South China by determining morphological changes hepatic mRNA expression levels relevant genes such as vitellogenin (Vtg), estrogen receptor (ERα) androgen receptors...
Teleost fish have evolved various adaptations that allow them to tolerate cold water conditions. However, the underlying mechanism of this adaptation is poorly understood in Tibetan Plateau fish. RNA-seq combined with liquid chromatography‒mass spectrometry (LC‒MS/MS) metabolomics was used investigate physiological responses a Plateau-specific teleost, Gymnocypris przewalskii, under The 8-month G. przewalskii juvenile were exposed (4 ℃, acclimation, CA) and warm (17 normal temperature, NT)...
The species status of Schizopygopsis chengi, which is defined as a subspecies malacanthus, under debate. In the present study, comprehensive morphological and molecular analyses were performed on S. its closest relatives malacanthus other fishes. results showed that chengi did not form sister lineage to with differences in unbranched rays dorsal fin. evidence indicated was valid separated from malacanthus. By examining specimens Marke River, Keke Duoke River Baoxing populations...
We previously reported that, based on clone-based sequencing (CBS), hepatitis B virus (HBV) heterogeneity within the reverse transcriptase (RT) region was a predictor of antiviral efficacy. Here, by comparing ultradeep pyrosequencing (UDPS), i.e., next-generation (NGS), with CBS in characterizing genetic HBV quasispecies RT region, we evaluated performance UDPS analysis viral populations. genomic DNA extracted from serum samples 31 treatment-naive patients chronic B. The were analyzed...
Gymnocypris przewalskii, a cyprinid fish endemic to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, has evolved unique morphological, physiological and genetic characteristics adapt highland environment. Herein, we assembled high-quality G. przewalskii tetraploid genome with size of 2.03 Gb scaffold N50 44.93 Mb, which was anchored onto 46 chromosomes. The comparative analysis suggested that gene families related adaptation were significantly expanded in przewalskii. According genome, evaluated phylogenetic...
The identification of candidate genes and genetic variations associated with growth traits is important for sheep breeding. Insulin like factor 1 (IGF1) insulin receptor (IGF1R) are well-accepted that affect animal development. current study attempted to assess the association between IGF1 IGF1R polymorphisms in Hulun Buir sheep. To achieve this goal, we first identified three ten single nucleotide (SNPs) exons then constructed six haplotypes based on linkage disequilibrium, respectively....
Gymnocypris eckloni is widely distributed in isolated lakes and the upper reaches of Yellow River play significant roles trophic web freshwater communities. In this study, we generated a chromosome-level genome G. using PacBio, Illumina Hi-C sequencing data. The consists 23 pseudo-chromosomes that contain 918.68 Mb sequence, with scaffold N50 length 43.54 Mb. total, 23,157 genes were annotated, representing 94.80% total predicted protein-coding genes. phylogenetic analysis showed was most...
Apparent cases of sympatric speciation may actually be due to micro-allopatric or micro-parapatric speciation. One way distinguish between these models is examine the existence and nature genomic islands divergence, wherein divergent DNA segments are interspersed with low-divergence segments. Such should rare absent under but common in gene flow. Sympatric divergence endemic fishes known from isolated saline, crater, postglacial, ancient lakes. Two morphologically distinct cyprinid fishes,...
The Tibetan highland fish, Gymnocypris przewalskii, migrates from Lake Qinghai to its spawning grounds every summer. This seasonal reproduction is critically regulated by intrinsic and extrinsic signals. However, the molecular mechanisms that process environmental oscillations initiate mating are largely unknown. A transcriptomic analysis was conducted on brain gonad of male female G. przewalskii in reproductive nonreproductive seasons. We obtained 2034, 760, 1158 17,856 differentially...
Genome-wide studies on highland adaptation mechanism in terrestrial animal have been widely reported with few available for aquatic animals. Tibetan Schizothoracinae species are ideal model systems to study speciation and of fish. The Schizothoracine fish, Gymnocypris przewalskii ganzihonensis had underwent the ecological niche shift from salt water freshwater, also experienced a recent split przewalskii. In addition, G. p. inhabited harsh environment including low temperature hypoxia as...
Environmental acclimation is important episode in wildlife occupation of the high-altitude Tibetan Plateau (TP). Transcriptome-wide studies on thermal mechanism fish species are rarely revealed at high altitude. Thus, we used mRNA and miRNA transcriptome sequencing to investigate regulation larval naked carp, Gymnocypris przewalskii. We first remodeled network acclimation, then identified differential expression miRNAs target mRNAs enriched metabolic digestive pathways. Interestingly, two...
Traditional duckweed toxicity tests only measure plant growth inhibition as an endpoint, with limited effects-based data. The present study aimed to investigate whether Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy could enhance the (Lemna minor L.) test. Four chemicals (Cu, Cd, atrazine, and acetochlor) 4 metal-containing industrial wastewater samples were tested. After exposure of chemicals, standard endpoints (frond number chlorophyll content) determined; fronds also interrogated using...
