Abstract Sturgeons and paddlefishes (Acipenseriformes) occupy the basal position of ray-finned fishes, although they have cartilaginous skeletons as in Chondrichthyes. This evolutionary status their morphological specializations make them a research focus, but complex genomes (polyploidy presence microchromosomes) bring obstacles challenges to molecular studies. Here, we generated first high-quality genome assembly American paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) at chromosome level. Comparative...
Background: Sturgeons (Chondrostei: Acipenseridae) are a group of "living fossil" fishes at basal position among Actinopteri. They have raised great public interest due to their special evolutionary position, species conservation challenges, as well highly-prized eggs (caviar). The sterlet, Acipenser ruthenus, is relatively small-sized member sturgeons and has been widely distributing in both Europe Asia. In this study, we performed whole genome sequencing, de novo assembly gene annotation...
PIWI proteins and Piwi‐interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are crucial for gametogenesis, embryogenesis, stem cell maintenance in animals. The Piwil1 ( Piwi-like RNA-mediated gene silencing 1 ) has rapidly evolved the protogynous hermaphrodite ricefield eel Monopterus albus compared to other teleosts. Notably, there is a significant reduction DNA methylation levels an increase expression of testes those ovaries. However, role gonadogenesis remains unclear. This study elucidated histomorphological...
The largefin longbarbel catfish (Hemibagrus macropterus), a freshwater species endemic to China with fundamental economic importance, requires investigation into its genetic structure for effective management. In this study, we employed mitochondrial cytochrome b (Cytb) gene sequences and 14 microsatellite loci elucidate the of 195 individuals across eight distinct populations. Cytb analysis revealed haplotype number (H) 31, diversity (Hd) 0.853, nucleotide (π) 0.0127. Population neutrality...
Plasmodium falciparum resistance to artemisinin emerged in the Greater Mekong Sub-region has been associated with mutations propeller domain of kelch gene Pfk13. Here polymorphisms Pvk12 gene, orthologue Pfk13 vivax, were determined by PCR and sequencing 262 clinical isolates collected recent years (2012–2015) from China-Myanmar border area. Sequencing full-length genes these identified three synonymous (N172N, S360S, S697S) one non-synonymous mutation M124I, all which at very low prevalence...

Abstract Little is known about the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in genome of Yangtze finless porpoise ( Neophocaena asiaeorientalis ) (YFP) or other cetaceans. In this study, a high-quality YFP bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library was constructed. We then determined organization and characterization MHC class II region by screening BAC library, followed sequencing assembly positive clones. The consists two segregated contigs (218,725 bp 328,435 respectively) that include...
During the evolutionary transition from land to water, cetaceans have undergone numerous critical challenges, with osmoregulation being major one. Two subspecies of narrow-ridged finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis), freshwater Yangtze (N. a. asiaeorientalis, NAA) and marine East Asian sunameri, NAS), provide excellent subjects understand genetic basis osmoregulatory divergence between mammals. The kidney plays an important well-established role in mammals thus, herein, we utilized...
Ecological surveys have indicated that the population of critically endangered Yangtze finless porpoise (YFP, Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis) is becoming increasingly small and fragmented, will be at high risk extinction in near future. Genetic conservation this an important component long-term effort. We used a 597 base pair mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region 11 microsatellite loci to analyze genetic diversity structure YFP. The analysis both mtDNA suggested YFP possibly...
A 12-week feeding trial was conducted to determine the influence of dietary protein levels on growth performance, body composition, haematological parameters and digestive enzyme activity Chinese rice field eel (Monopterus albus) fingerlings. Six isolipidic experimental diets (27.89%, 32.23%, 35.95%, 40.06%, 43.31% 46.53%) were formulated randomly assign triplicate groups 50 fingerlings (5.0 ± 0.5 g) cultured in plastic cages. Results indicated that best performance fish with highest WG...
Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) has been recognized as a potential additive for aquafeeds due to its beneficial biological functions. In order evaluate the application of EGCG in Chinese rice field eel (Monopterus albus), six isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets containing 0, 25, 50, 100, 200, 400 mg/kg were formulated fed Monopterus albus (M. albus) 9 weeks. The results showed that M. 0 100 presented higher weight again specific growth rate than other groups. Fish with displayed lower...
In this study, six candidate female-specific DNA sequences of octaploid Amur sturgeon (Acipenser schrenckii) were identified using comparative genomic approaches with high-throughput sequencing data. Their specificity was confirmed by traditional PCR. Two these sex-specific also validated as in other eight species and two hybrid sturgeons. The fragments suggest that the family Acipenseridae has a ZZ/ZW sex-determining system. However, one been deleted some sturgeons such Sterlet ruthenus),...
The Chinese longsnout catfish (Leiocassis longirostris) is an economically important freshwater fish in China; however, its wild resources have declined dramatically recent decades. Understanding the genetic structure of populations crucial to guide breeding programs and fishy restoration. In this study, 15 highly polymorphic microsatellite DNA loci were used evaluate diversity population structure. show high diversity; they do not significant differentiation or systematic geographic pattern...
The ricefield eel (Monopterus albus), a protogynous hermaphroditic Synbranchiform species, is one of the most economically valuable freshwater fish in China. Studies on sexual change will contribute to artificial culture and understanding sex determination differentiation fish. In this study, whole-genome DNA methylation transcriptomes ovary testis were analysed eel. An elevated level genome was observed compared with ovary. A total 457 genes showed negative correlation between status...
To study the effect of Ca/P ratio on P and Ca absorption excretion in hybrid sturgeon (Huso dauricus♀ X Acipenser schrenckii♂), five groups fish were intubated with 100 mg P·kg−1 BW ratios 0:1, 0.25:1, 0.5:1, 1:1, 2:1. Plasma concentrations significantly elevated at below 2:1, highest value was obtained 0.5:1. content increased ratio. Urine rate 0.5:1 higher than that 0:1 The urea rates observed 1:1. total 48 h post intubation reached about 30 mg·kg−1 BW, which recorded for group present...
