Bin Han and colleagues report the draft genome sequence of grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idellus, a major commercially farmed species freshwater fish. Analyses identify lineage-specific duplications that may have contributed to adaptation this vegetarian diet. The is an important fish, accounting for ∼16% global aquaculture, has Here we 0.9-Gb gynogenetic female adult 1.07-Gb wild male adult. Genome annotation identified 27,263 protein-coding gene models in genome. A total 114 scaffolds...

Testis development is a vital and tightly regulated process in mammals. Understanding the biological mechanisms underlying testis will benefit animal reproduction industry. Expression changes microRNA messenger RNA response to dynamic regulation effects have been associated with this process. However, very little known about roles of these molecules yak development. Using whole-genome small sequencing, we performed comprehensive analysis microRNA⁻messenger interaction network expression...

Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) recapitulates many of the activities insulin and promotes differentiation myoblasts osteoblasts, which likely contribute to genetic variations potential. However, little is known about functions signaling properties IGF2 variants in yaks. The over-expression vector knockdown sequence yak were transfected into fibroblasts, effects detected by a series assays. expression muscle tissues was significantly lower than that other tissues. In up-regulated inhibits...

Nuclear hormone receptors NR1D1 and NR4A2 play important roles in the synthesis metabolism of hormones that are thought to be strictly regulated by hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad axis (HPG) tissues via gene expression. However, yak, function regulatory mechanisms not clearly understood. The current study is aimed investigate expression patterns, distribution functions these two HPG male Tianzhu white yaks. Immunohistochemical staining showed proteins were present all yak with differential...

Increased poll gland secretion is a major characteristic and indicator of estrus in male Bactrian camels; however, research on these glands their extremely rare. In this study, we determine the chemical composition secretions identify key functional substances that regulate seasonal camels. A GC/LC-MS dual platform was used to analyze ventral hair (control) neck mane samples containing from camels during estrus. Multidimensional single-dimensional analyses were screen differentially...
