The paper uses medaka fish to study genetic and environmental interactions in heart rate, identifying QTLs and validating genes, while showing limitations of GWAS in capturing complex genetic effects.

FEHAT automatically detects heart rates in Medaka fish embryos from high-resolution videos, showing reliable performance across temperature perturbations.

The paper introduces the Medaka Inbred Kiyosu-Karlsruhe (MIKK) panel, a vertebrate genetic resource for genotype-to-phenotype studies, enabling controlled experiments on complex traits.

The paper analyzes genomic and epigenomic variation in the MIKK panel using long-read sequencing and pan-genome graphs, revealing novel structural variants and methylation patterns.
