Effects of hypoxia on survival, apoptosis, and the transcriptome of the Chinese yellow pond turtle (Mauremys mutica).

Mauremys mutica is a widely cultured pond turtle in China that can hold its breath underwater for up to 7 h. However, the adaptive mechanism of this hypoxia-resistant phenotype remains unknown. In the present study, no M.

Clonorchis sinensis infection induces pathological changes in feline bile duct epithelium and alters biliary microbiota composition.

Background: Clonorchis sinensis is a zoonotic liver fluke that inhabits the bile ducts of the human liver for prolonged periods, leading to cholangiocarcinoma. Recent research indicates associations between altered biliary microbiota and bile duct disorders. However, the impacts of C.

Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic position of (Siluriformes: Pangasiidae).

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of was firstly reported and analyzed. It had a double-stand DNA molecule with 16536 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and one control region. The structural organization and gene order was similar to other bony fishes.

ITRAQ Proteomic Analysis of Yellow and Black Skin in Jinbian Carp ().

Colors are important phenotypic traits for fitness under natural conditions in vertebrates. Previous studies have reported several functional genes and genetic variations of pigmentation, but the formation mechanisms of various skin coloration remained ambiguous in fish. Jinbian carp, a common carp variant, displays two colors (yellow and black) in the skin, thus, it is a good model for investigating the genetic basis of pigmentation.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the catfish (Siluriformes: Siluridae).

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of was reported to be 16,501 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and one control region. The structural organization and gene order were equivalent to other bony fishes. The complete genome of would provide the basic dataset for further research on phylogenetics and conservation genetics of catfishes.
