This paper develops a non-invasive method to genotype cephalopod sex using quantitative PCR, validated across multiple species and sequencing data.

The paper investigates how temperature and pressure influenced the evolution of antifreeze proteins (AFPs) in polar and deep sea fishes, showing that AFP III copy number expands under low temperature but decreases with depth.

This study shows that projected warming disrupts embryonic development and hatch timing in Antarctic fish, leading to morphological abnormalities, accelerated development, and molecular stress.

The study uses mitochondrial genome sequencing of museum specimens to assess species diversity within the Channichthys genus, finding high divergence in Charcoal Icefish and suggesting its validity as a distinct species.

The paper generates and analyzes genome assemblies for 24 Antarctic notothenioid fish species to study cold adaptations, identifying genomic changes related to antifreeze proteins and haemoglobin loss.

This study uses long-read sequencing to generate a high-quality genome assembly for an Antarctic eelpout and identifies genomic adaptations to polar environments.

The paper identifies a truncated duplication of the amhr2 gene on the Y chromosome in Pangasiid catfishes as a conserved master sex-determining gene.

The paper identifies circulating miRNAs as biomarkers of metabolic and reproductive states in rainbow trout using small RNA-seq and qPCR, showing fluid-specific miRNAomes and candidate biomarkers for myogenesis and reproductive success.

RADSex is a computational workflow for analyzing RAD-Seq data to identify sex determination systems, uncovering new sex-specific markers in fish species.

The paper introduces mirGFF3, a standardized format for miRNA/isomiR analysis, and mirtop, a tool to convert outputs into this format, enabling data sharing and comparative analysis.

This study investigates the role of Amh in zebrafish gonad development and sex determination by generating amh null mutants, revealing its involvement in germ cell regulation and gonadal soma development.
