This study identifies transcriptomic differences underlying color variation in bluefin killifish, revealing genes involved in pigment pathways and light-sensitive phenotypic plasticity.

The paper presents chromosome-scale genome assemblies for two notothenioid fish species, providing insights into their evolutionary history and adaptation to climate change.

This paper presents the first high-quality long-read genome of the Antarctic bald notothen, revealing its genome structure and repetitive elements, and highlights its potential as a model for cold adaptation studies.

This study investigates the origins of near-identical antifreeze proteins in unrelated fish lineages, revealing distinct evolutionary pathways and mechanisms.

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 presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of Eleginops maclovinus and compares its circadian gene repertoire with Antarctic cryonotothenioids, finding greater conservation with the Antarctic clade.

The paper studies the genetic basis of secondarily temperate adaptation in the pike icefish by comparing its genome to its Antarctic relative, identifying chromosomal rearrangements and selected pathways.
