The paper examines vgll3 genotype effects on reproductive axis gene expression in immature Atlantic salmon, finding strong genotype-dependent differential expression in key genes.

This study identifies cis-regulatory differences in vgll3 isoform expression linked to age at maturity variation in Atlantic salmon.

The paper identifies the molar initiation knot as a transient signaling center essential for tooth development, showing it drives the formation of the primary enamel knot through Wnt and Shh interactions.

This study shows that vgll3 locus effects on maturation timing in Atlantic salmon are mediated through body condition, with significant heritability differences observed across environments.
