Article Synopsis
- Cephalopoda are diverse marine organisms in the Mollusca phylum, known for their complex behaviors and vertebrate-like traits, making them valuable for studying evolutionary adaptation.
- Researchers have assembled a high-quality genome of the East Asian common octopus (Octopus sinensis), which is 2.72 Gb in size and has significant completeness and improved scaffolding over previous genomes.
- This comprehensive genomic analysis reveals insights into gene families and noncoding RNAs, providing important resources for studying octopus biology, population genetics, and evolutionary processes.
The greenfin horse-faced filefish, Thamnaconus septentrionalis, is a valuable commercial fish species that is widely distributed in the Indo-West Pacific Ocean. This fish has characteristic blue-green fins, rough skin and a spine-like first dorsal fin. Thamnaconus septentrionalis is of conservation concern because its population has declined sharply, and it is an important marine aquaculture fish species in China.

Mitochondrial DNA B Resour
September 2019
The first complete mitochondrial genome of the wolf-eel () was determined and analyzed in this work. It had a circular mapping molecular with the length of 16,506 bp and contained 12S and 16S rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, and a 851 bp D-loop in the typical arrangement of the vertebrate consensus. Phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial genome sequences of 47 representative species within the order Perciformes suggests that is closely related to the species in the family Anarhichadidae.
