An ancestral pronephric contribution reveals the multilineage origin of the teleost gonad and revises the evolution of vertebrate gonadogenesis

The paper shows that the teleost gonad originates from three embryonic tissues, challenging the idea that pronephric contribution is an amniote innovation.

Endosomal Microautophagy is Activated by Specific Cellular Stresses in Trout Hepatocytes

The paper identifies endosomal microautophagy (eMI) activation in trout hepatocytes under specific stress conditions and suggests its compensatory role when CMA is impaired.

The Tgf-β family member Gdf6Y determines the male sex in Nothobranchius furzeri by suppressing oogenesis-inducing genes

This study identifies Gdf6Y as the male sex-determining gene in Nothobranchius furzeri by suppressing female-specific genes through TGF-β signaling.

Chaperone-Mediated Autophagy in Fish: A Key Function Amid a Changing Environment

This study identifies and validates the CMA activation score in rainbow trout, revealing Lamp2A's role in hepatic proteostasis under nutritional stress.

The zebrafish as a new model for studying chaperone-mediated autophagy unveils its role in spermatogenesis

This study establishes zebrafish as a model for studying chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), revealing its role in spermatogenesis and tissue-specific variations.

Multi-genome comparisons reveal gain-and-loss evolution of the anti-Mullerian hormone receptor type 2 gene, an old master sex determining gene, in Percidae

The paper compares genomes across multiple fish species to study the evolutionary changes in the amhr2bY gene, a key sex-determining gene, revealing gains and losses in different Percidae species.

An ancient truncated duplication of the anti-Mullerian hormone receptor type 2 gene is a potential conserved master sex determinant in the Pangasiidae catfish family

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

A non-functional copy of the salmonid sex determining gene (sdY) is responsible for the "apparent" XY females in Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha.

The study identifies a non-functional sdY gene variant in XY Chinook salmon females that disrupts testicular differentiation by impairing estrogen synthesis.

RADSex: a computational workflow to study sex determination using Restriction Site-Associated DNA Sequencing data

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

Sex chromosome and sex locus characterization in the goldfish, Carassius auratus

This study characterizes the sex determination system and sex chromosomes in goldfish, identifying a large non-recombining region on linkage group 22 as the likely Y chromosome and developing sex-linked genetic markers.

Genome sequence of the euryhaline Javafish medaka, Oryzias javanicus: a small aquarium fish model for studies on adaptation to salinity.

The paper presents a high-quality draft genome assembly of Oryzias javanicus, focusing on its adaptation to salinity.

Characterization of a Y-specific duplication/insertion of the anti-Mullerian hormone type II receptor gene based on a chromosome-scale genome assembly of yellow perch, Perca flavescens

The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of yellow perch and identifies a Y-specific duplication of the amhr2 gene as a candidate sex determination gene.
