Article Synopsis
  • Risso's dolphin is a migratory marine mammal found in tropical and temperate seas, currently classified as least concern by the IUCN, but its population details remain uncertain.
  • A draft genome of the Risso's dolphin was assembled from samples in Japan, revealing a genome size of 2.256 Gb and identifying 9947 genes for potential study.
  • The genetic data obtained through advanced sequencing techniques will aid future research on dolphins and other marine mammals, enhancing understanding of their genetics and population structure.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study used RT-qPCR to analyze 10 candidate reference genes for their stability and efficiency in gene expression across various tissues like fat, liver, and muscle in toothed whales.
  • * The analysis identified two novel reference genes as the most stable for further genomic studies, with a recommendation to use one of them for research on lipid-related adaptations in these marine mammals.

Risso's dolphin ( Cuvier, 1812) is the only species of genus and a cosmopolitan marine inhabitant. Here, we report a polymorphic complete mitochondrial genome of . The size of the total mitochondrial genome was 16,386 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region.
