Comparative transcriptome analysis of albino northern snakehead (Channa argus) reveals its various collagen-related DEGs in caudal fin cells.

The albino northern snakehead (Channa argus) is an aquaculture species characterized by heritable albino body color, in contrast to the typical coloration. Additionally, there are gray- and golden-finned individuals, which exhibit distinct coloration in their caudal fins. We performed RNA-seq to profile the transcriptome of caudal fin tissues in albino gray-finned and golden-finned C.

IPHM: Incremental periodic high-utility mining algorithm in dynamic and evolving data environments.

Periodic high-utility itemset (PHUI) mining can extend beyond the conventional approach of high-utility itemset mining by uncovering recurring customer purchase behaviors common in real-life scenarios (e.g., buying apples and oranges every three days or weekly).

The first complete chloroplast genome of : insights into phylogeny and species identification.

Introduction: is a medicinal plant belonging to the genus of the Ranunculaceae family and has been used in herbal medicine in the Himalayan regions of China and India. This species is taxonomically challenging because of its morphological similarities to other species within the genus. Thus, herbal drugs from this species are frequently adulterated, substituted, or mixed with other species, thereby endangering consumer safety.

Nonvisual system-mediated body color change in fish reveals nonvisual function of Opsin 3 in skin.

Body-color changes in many poikilothermic animals can occur quickly. This color change is generally initiated by visual system, followed by neuromuscular or neuroendocrine control. We have previously showed that the ventral skin color of the large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) presents golden yellow in dark environment and quickly changes to silvery white in light environment.

Co-packaged optics (CPO): status, challenges, and solutions.

Due to the rise of 5G, IoT, AI, and high-performance computing applications, datacenter traffic has grown at a compound annual growth rate of nearly 30%. Furthermore, nearly three-fourths of the datacenter traffic resides within datacenters. The conventional pluggable optics increases at a much slower rate than that of datacenter traffic.

Mitogenome base composition was biased toward A + T content, at 60.

Impaired oocyte maturation and ovulation in membrane progestin receptor (mPR) knockouts in zebrafish.

Accumulating evidence suggest that membrane progestin receptor α (mPRα) is the membrane receptor mediating nongenomic progestin signaling that induces oocyte maturation in teleost. However, the involvement of other members of mPR family in oocyte maturation is still unclear. In this study, we found impaired oocyte maturation in zebrafish lacking mPRα1, mPRα2, mPRβ, or mPRγ2.

Effect of T-shape Shoulder Fillet on the Plastic Deformation Properties of SS400 and LYS160 Steel.

Shoulder fillets are widely used in the structural optimization design of metal dampers. However, the plastic deformation property of dampers affected by stress concentration, owing to different fillets, has not been explored in-depth. In this study, two typical metal damper materials with different plastic deformation, i.

Mechanisms of gene rearrangement in 13 bothids based on comparison with a newly completed mitogenome of the threespot flounder, Grammatobothus polyophthalmus (Pleuronectiformes: Bothidae).

Background: The mitogenomes of 12 teleost fish of the bothid family (order Pleuronectiformes) indicated that the genomic-scale rearrangements characterized in previous work. A novel mechanism of genomic rearrangement called the Dimer-Mitogenome and Non-Random Loss (DMNL) model was used to account for the rearrangement found in one of these bothids, Crossorhombus azureus.

Results: The 18,170 bp mitogenome of G.

Androstenedione and 17α-methyltestosterone induce early ovary development of Anguilla japonica.

Endocrine effects as 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT), an unaromatizable androgen, regulating the follicles growth in the previtellogenic stage of eel reproduction have been widely elucidated. However, the influence of aromatizable androgens on the brain-pituitary-gonad axis during oogenesis in A. japonica has not been clearly elaborated.

Flatfish monophyly refereed by the relationship of Psettodes in Carangimorphariae.

Background: The monophyly of flatfishes has not been supported in many molecular phylogenetic studies. The monophyly of Pleuronectoidei, which comprises all but one family of flatfishes, is broadly supported. However, the Psettodoidei, comprising the single family Psettodidae, is often found to be most closely related to other carangimorphs based on substantial sequencing efforts and diversely analytical methods.

High-Throughput Identification of Antimicrobial Peptides from Amphibious Mudskippers.

Widespread existence of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) has been reported in various animals with comprehensive biological activities, which is consistent with the important roles of AMPs as the first line of host defense system. However, no big-data-based analysis on AMPs from any fish species is available. In this study, we identified 507 AMP transcripts on the basis of our previously reported genomes and transcriptomes of two representative amphibious mudskippers, (BP) and (PM).

Transcriptomic signatures for ovulation in vertebrates.

The central roles of luteinizing hormone (LH), progestin and their receptors for initiating ovulation have been well established. However, signaling pathways and downstream targets such as proteases that are essential for the rupture of follicular cells are still unclear. Recently, we found anovulation in nuclear progestin receptor (Pgr) knockout (Pgr-KO) zebrafish, which offers a new model for examining genes and pathways that are important for ovulation and fertility.
