Background: The reconstruction of the evolutionary history of organisms has been greatly influenced by the advent of molecular techniques, leading to a significant increase in studies utilizing genomic data from different species. However, the lack of standardization in gene nomenclature poses a challenge in database searches and evolutionary analyses, impacting the accuracy of results obtained.
Results: To address this issue, a Python class for standardizing gene nomenclatures, SynGenes, has been developed.
Fish mitochondrial genome have been largely studied worldwide for evolutionary and other genetic purposes and the structure and gene organization are commonly conservative. However, several studies have demonstrated that this scenario may present variations in some taxa, showing differentiation on the gene rearrangement. In this study, the complete mitogenome of terrestrial fish Boleophthalmus dussumieri was generated and compared with other species of the Exudercidae fishes.

- The Tambaqui fish, a key species in the Amazon, is widely studied for its role in fisheries and aquaculture, but more genomic data is needed for better understanding of its reproduction, nutrition, and disease resistance.
- Next-generation sequencing techniques were employed to create the first transcriptome dataset of the brain's telencephalon in adult male and female Tambaqui, yielding 896,238 transcripts that include 203,790 identified genes.
- Analysis revealed 91 differentially expressed transcripts linked to reproductive processes and immune responses, highlighting important genes that could serve for improving breeding and welfare practices in Tambaqui farming.
The ichthyological provinces of Mozambique are understudied hotspots of global fish diversity. In this study, we applied DNA barcoding to identify the composition of the fish fauna from the coast of Mozambique. A total of 143 species belonging to 104 genera, 59 families, and 30 orders were identified.

These tools have shown considerable promise for student-educator interactions, especially at a distance, a potential that has come to the forefront during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Even so, this potential is still underexploited, even in the current scenario.
