The genome of the sapphire damselfish : a new resource to support further investigation of the evolution of Pomacentrids.

The number of high-quality genomes is rapidly increasing across taxa. However, it remains limited for coral reef fish of the Pomacentrid family, with most research focused on anemonefish. Here, we present the first assembly for a Pomacentrid of the genus .

The transcriptional landscape underlying larval development and metamorphosis in the Malabar grouper ().

Most teleost fishes exhibit a biphasic life history with a larval oceanic phase that is transformed into morphologically and physiologically different demersal, benthic, or pelagic juveniles. This process of transformation is characterized by a myriad of hormone-induced changes, during the often abrupt transition between larval and juvenile phases called metamorphosis. Thyroid hormones (TH) are known to be instrumental in triggering and coordinating this transformation but other hormonal systems such as corticoids, might be also involved as it is the case in amphibians.

Giant sea anemones.

Kashimoto et al. introduce the giant sea anemones, which form mutualistic relationships with anemonefish.
