Schizothoracine fishes in saltwater lakes of the Tibetan Plateau are important models for studying the evolution and uplift of the Tibetan Plateau. Examining their adaptation to the high-salt environment is interesting. In this study, we first assembled the RNA-Seq data of each tissue of , , and from Qinghai Lake, Selincuo Lake, and Namtso Lake, respectively, obtained by the group previously.

- Channa asiatica is an important fish for studying how organisms survive low oxygen levels, but its genetic mechanisms are not well understood.
- Researchers completed a high-quality genome assembly for this fish, finding 23,949 protein-coding genes and revealing a significant portion is related to repetitive elements.
- The study also identified expanded gene families linked to oxygen transport and activated stress response pathways when the fish are exposed to air, providing valuable resources for future research on its hypoxic tolerance.
Article Synopsis
- The Yarlung Tsangpo River's unique environment offers opportunities to study the evolution and ecology of fish, particularly the threatened species Schizopygopsis younghusbandi, which is facing overfishing and biological invasion issues.
- Researchers created a detailed chromosome-level genome for S. younghusbandi and collected genetic data from 59 individuals across six river locations, finding a divergence from other species around 4.2 million years ago linked to the Tibetan uplift.
- The study highlights how this fish adapted genetically over time, informs conservation efforts, and suggests that its ancient population originated upstream, evolving through significant climate changes.
Article Synopsis
- * The first species has specific fin ray counts and scale series, while the second species is distinguished by its unique coloration and higher scale count.
- * Morphological and molecular analyses confirmed both species as new additions to their genus, highlighting their distinct traits and genetic relationships.
Molecular cloning and tissue distribution of the leptin gene in gibel carp (Carassius auratus gibelio): Regulation by postprandial and long-term fasting treatment.

Leptin is a multifunctional hormone that serves as a feeding regulator in mammals. However, the effect of leptin on fish remains unclear. We sequenced the leptin gene from gibel carp (Carassius auratus gibelio) and designated it gLEP.
