Article Synopsis
- The study addresses the challenge of varying economic traits in sea cucumber aquaculture by comparing gene expression and networks to find key genes related to morphological differences in Apostichopus japonicus.
- Researchers identified three important genes linked to better economic traits and discovered specific SNPs in the ficolin-2 gene that correlate with two traits: body weight and papilla number.
- These findings aim to enhance breeding strategies and biomarker resources, promoting advancements in molecular-assisted breeding for sea cucumbers.
Article Synopsis
- Underwater images often suffer from poor visibility, reduced contrast, and color distortions due to light absorption and scattering in water, making enhancement challenging.
- This paper introduces a high-speed method for enhancing underwater images and videos using dark channel prior, which includes improved background light estimation and a refined transmission map for better color and visibility correction.
- The effectiveness of this method is validated through various image-quality assessments and real-time testing on an underwater vehicle, demonstrating significant improvements over existing techniques.
MiR-7 Regulates Pathogen-Induced Immune Response PAK1 in the Sea Cucumber .
Front Immunol
August 2022
MicroRNA-7 (miR-7) is a highly conserved short non-coding RNA involved in various bioprocesses the regulation of multiple target genes. To enrich our knowledge of the functions of miR-7 in innate immune regulation in echinoderms, we first investigated the targeting relationship between miR-7 and in the sea cucumber and then explored the functions of miR-7, the gene, and the miR-7/ axis in the pathogen-induced immune response of . Our results showed that miR-7 can bind to the 3'UTR of and negatively regulate the expression of in .

Nanomaterials (Basel)
March 2022
In this work, a new type of CoVO hollow nanocube (CoVO-HNC) was synthesized through an ion exchange process using ZIF-67 nanocubes as a template. The hollow nanocubic structure of the CoVO-HNC provides an abundance of redox sites and shortens the ion/electron diffusion path. As the electrode material of supercapacitors, the specific capacitance of CoVO-HNC is 427.
