Complete mitochondrial genome of the top hat blenny, Richardson (Blenniiformes: Blenniinae) in Southern China Coast.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of was firstly described in this article. The total length of mitogenome was 16,569 bp. It contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Chinese (Clupeiformes, Clupeidae) and phylogenetic studies of Clupeiformes.

The Dotted Gizzard Shad () was one of the most important commercial fish species in China, Japan and Korea. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of was presented. The full length of the mitochondrial genome was 16,705 bp, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNA genes, one non-coding control region (CR) and one origin of replication on the light-strand.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of (Characiformes, Characidae) and phylogenetic studies of Characiformes.

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of is presented, and we also discussed its mitochondrial characteristics. The full length of the mitochondrial genome was 17,417 bp, including 13 protein coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (12S and 16S), 22 transfer RNA genes, 1 non-coding control region (D-loop), and 1 origin of replication on the light-strand. The total nucleotide composition of mitochondrial DNA was 29.

Identification, characterization and mRNA transcript abundance profiles of estrogen related receptor (ERR) in Sepiella japonica imply its possible involvement in female reproduction.

Estrogen related receptors (ERRs) are widely detected in vertebrates and apparently have functions in reproduction. The functions of ERRs in reproduction of invertebrates, especially in mollusk cephalopods, are largely unknown. In the present study, An homologue of vertebrate ERR gene was first cloned from female Sepiella japonica, an important Cephalopod species in coastal water of China.

Cloning, Characterization, and Expression Profile of Estrogen Receptor in Common Chinese Cuttlefish, Sepiella japonica.

Sex steroid hormones are widely detected in molluscs and play important roles in sex determination, gonadal tissue maturation, and gametogenesis. Nevertheless, the signaling pathways of sex steroids in cephalopod have not yet been clearly elucidated. In the present study, a full-length sequence encoding the estrogen receptor (ER) was isolated from common Chinese cuttlefish, Sepiella japonica.

De novo assembly and comparison of the ovarian transcriptomes of the common Chinese cuttlefish (Sepiella japonica) with different gonadal development.

The common Chinese cuttlefish (Sepiella japonica) has been considered one of the most economically important marine Cephalopod species in East Asia and seed breeding technology has been established for massive aquaculture and stock enhancement. In the present study, we used Illumina HiSeq2000 to sequence, assemble and annotate the transcriptome of the ovary tissues of S. japonica for the first time.
