Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is Earth’s most abundant wild animal, and its enormous biomass vital to the Southern Ocean ecosystem. Here, we report a 48.01-Gb chromosome-level genome, whose large genome size appears have resulted from inter-genic transposable element expansions. Our assembly reveals molecular architecture of circadian clock uncovers expanded gene families associated with molting energy metabolism, providing insights into adaptations cold highly seasonal environment....
Abstract Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) refers to the differences in body between males and females. Epigenetics such as methylation contribute shaping phenotypes, nevertheless, their role SSD is still unclear. Here, we used Cynoglossus semilaevis , a species with larger females known female-biased SSD, model investigate of emergence regulation SSD. Methylomes transcriptomes were constructed four tissues (brain, liver, muscle, gonad) from three key life stages: juveniles (3-months post...
Pathogenic infection of fishes is an important constraining factor affecting marine aquaculture. Insufficient understanding the molecular mechanisms has affected diagnosis and corresponding treatment. Here, we reported dynamic changes gene expression patterns in Chinese tongue sole kidney at 16 h, 48 72 h 96 after Vibrio harveyi infection. In total, 366, 214, 115 238 differentially expressed genes were obtained from h-vs. -C, -C group comparisons, respectively. KEGG enrichment analysis...
As a common influencing factor in the environment, temperature greatly influences fish that live water all their life. The essential economic Chinese tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis), benthic fish, will experience both physiological and behavioral changes due to increases temperature. brain, as central hub of crucial regulatory organ, is particularly sensitive be affected. However, previous research has mainly concentrated on impact gonads C. semilaevis. Instead, our study examines brain...
Flatfish undergo extreme morphological development and settle to a benthic in the adult stage, are likely be more susceptible environmental stress. Heat shock proteins 70 ( hsp70 ) involved embryonic stress response metazoan animals. However, evolutionary history functions of flatfish poorly understood. Here, we identified 15 genes genome Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus ), endemic northwestern Pacific Ocean. Gene structure motifs were conserved, there few variants compared other...
Yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi) is a pelagic marine piscivore with circumglobal distribution. It particularly suitable for open ocean aquaculture owing to its large body size, fast swimming, rapid growth, and high economic value. A high-precision genome of great significance future genetic breeding research large-scale in the ocean. PacBio, Illumina, Hi-C data were combined assemble chromosome-level reference size 648.34 Mb (contig N50: 28.52 Mb). 175 contigs was anchored onto 24...
Temperature is known to affect living organisms and alter the expression of responsive genes, which affects a series life processes, such as development, reproduction metabolism. Several genes gene families have been involved in high temperature responses, heat shock protein (hsp) family, Jumonji family related cortisol synthesis. Gonad vital organ existence species. However, comprehensive understanding gonadal responses environmental limited.To explore effects on networks gonads, we...
The maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) is a crucial event in embryo development. While the features of MZT across species are shared, stage this different among species. We characterized flatfish species, Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). In study, we analyzed 551.57 GB transcriptome data two types gametes (sperms and eggs) 10 developmental stages flounder. identified 2512 maternal factor-related genes found that most those expression decreased at low blastula (LB) remained...
It is widely known that all-female fish production holds economic value for aquaculture. Sebastes schlegelii, a preeminent species, exhibits sex dimorphism, with females surpassing males in growth. In this regard, achieving black rockfish could significantly enhance breeding profitability. study, we utilized the used male sex-regulating hormone, 17α-methyltestosterone (MT) at three different concentrations (20, 40, and 60 ppm), to produce pseudomales of S. schlegelii subsequent offspring...
