The first engkabang jantong () genome survey data.

The engkabang jantong () is one of the most indispensable tree species for reforestation due to its high survival rate and rapid growth rate. Due to relatively low genetic interest of this tree species, its genomic landscape has since faced scarcity, impeding our further elucidation on genes that are involved in expressing its aforementioned superior properties. In this study, we performed genome survey and microsatellite analysis of engkabang jantong.

Selection of vaccine candidates against Pseudomonas koreensis using reverse vaccinology and a preliminary efficacy trial in Empurau (Tor tambroides).

This study marks the first utilization of reverse vaccinology to develop recombinant subunit vaccines against Pseudomonas koreensis infection in Empurau (Tor tambroides). The proteome (5538 proteins) was screened against various filters to prioritize proteins based on features that are associated with virulence, subcellular localization, transmembrane helical structure, antigenicity, essentiality, non-homology with the host proteome, molecular weight, and stability, which led to the identification of eight potential vaccine candidates. These potential vaccine candidates were cloned and expressed, with six achieving successful expression and purification.

Isolation, identification and characterisation of Pseudomonas koreensis CM-01 isolated from diseased Malaysian mahseer (Tor tambroides).

Pseudomonas species are one of the most threatening fish pathogens which reside a wide range of environments. In this study, the dominant bacteria were isolated from diseased Malaysian mahseer (Tor tambroides) and tentatively named CM-01. It was identified as Pseudomonas koreensis based on its biochemical, morphological, genetic and physiological information.

Whole-Genome Sequencing of Pseudomonas koreensis Isolated from Diseased Tor tambroides.

Unlike environmental P. koreensis isolated from soil, which has been studied extensively for its role in promoting plant growth, pathogenic P. koreensis isolated from fish has been rarely reported.

Complete chloroplast genome data of (Engkabang): Structural features, comparative and phylogenetic analysis.

belongs to the genus under the Dipterocarpaceae family. It is a woody tree that grows in the rainforest in Southeast Asia. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of is reported here.

Genome-Wide Identification, Characterisation and Phylogenetic Analysis of 52 Striped Catfish () ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) Transporter Genes.

The (striped or tra catfish) is a Pangasiidae family member famous for its high unsaturated fatty acid content flesh. This riverine catfish can breathe in the air unlike the channel catfish. One of the most well-known ecotoxicological protein superfamily, the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, has been characterised in channel catfish through a genome-wide approach.

Transcriptome dataset of sago palm in peat soil.

Sago palm ( Rottb.) is an important agricultural starch-producing palm that contributes to Malaysia's economics, especially in the State of Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. In this palm tree, the central part of the plant storage-starch.

First high-quality genome assembly data of sago palm ( Rottboll).

The sago palm ( Rottboll) is a tropical halophytic starch-producing, economically important crop palm mainly located in Southeast Asian countries. Recently, a genome survey was conducted on this palm using the Illumina sequencing platform, with a very low (21.5%) BUSCO genome completeness score, and most of them (∼78%) are either fragmented or missing.

The first transcriptome sequencing and data analysis of the Javan mahseer (.

The Javan mahseer () is one of the most valuable freshwater fish found in species. To date, other than mitogenomic data (BioProject: PRJNA422829), genomic and transcriptomic resources for this species are still lacking which is crucial to understand the molecular mechanisms associated with important traits such as growth, immune response, reproduction and sex determination. For the first time, we sequenced the transcriptome from a whole juvenile fish using Illumina NovaSEQ6000 generating raw paired-end reads.

Improving the phylogenetic resolution of Malaysian and Javan mahseer (Cyprinidae), Tor tambroides and Tor tambra: Whole mitogenomes sequencing, phylogeny and potential mitogenome markers.

The true mahseer (Tor spp.) is one of the highest valued fish in the world due to its high nutritional value and great unique taste. Nevertheless, its morphological characterization and single mitochondrial gene phylogeny in the past had yet to resolve the ambiguity in its taxonomical classification.

Sequencing and characterisation of complete mitogenome DNA for Rasbora sarawakensis (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae: Rasbora) with phylogenetic consideration.

The Blueline Rasbora (Rasbora sarawakensis) is a small ray-finned fish categorized under the genus Rasbora in the Cyprinidae family. In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of R. sarawakensis was sequenced using four primers targeting overlapping regions.

Sequencing and Characterisation of Complete Mitochondrial DNA Genome for (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae: Danioninae) with Phylogenetic Consideration.

The or the redstripe rasbora is a cyprinid commonly found in marshes and swampy areas with slight acidic tannin-stained water in the tropics. In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of was first amplified in two parts using two pairs of overlapping primers and then sequenced. The size of the mitogenome is 16,707 bp, encompassing 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and a putative control region.

Morphometric Analysis and Genetic Relationship of spp. in Sarawak, Malaysia.

The genus is one of the most species-rich genus among the freshwater fishes and cryptic diversity has been a major hindrance in species identification in the past four decades due to their high similarities in terms of morphology. This study aimed to investigate this issue both morphologically and molecularly. In this study, a total of 23 morphometric parameters were used to differentiate the 103 fish samples harvested from different regions of Sarawak state of Malaysia via Multivariate Stepwise Discriminant Function Analysis (SDFA).

A survey of recently emerged genome-wide computational enhancer predictor tools.

The race for the discovery of enhancers at a genome-wide scale has been on since the commencement of next generation sequencing decades after the discovery of the first enhancer, SV40. A few enhancer-predicting features such as chromatin feature, histone modifications and sequence feature had been implemented with varying success rates. However, to date, there is no consensus yet on the single enhancer marker that can be employed to ultimately distinguish and uncover enhancers from the enormous genomic regions.

Distinct developmental expression of two elongase family members in zebrafish.

Despite the known importance of long-chained polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) during development, very little is known about their utilization and biosynthesis during embryogenesis. Combining the advantages of the existence of a complete range of enzymes required for LC-PUFA biosynthesis and the well established developmental biology tools in zebrafish, we examined the expression patterns of three LC-PUFA biosynthesis genes, Elovl2-like elongase (elovl2), Elovl5-like elongase (elovl5) and fatty acyl desaturase (fad) in different zebrafish developmental stages. The presence of all three genes in the brain as early as 24 hours post fertilization (hpf) implies LC-PUFA synthesis activity in the embryonic brain.
