The paper integrates miRNA and mRNA expression across developmental stages in African killifish to identify coordinated regulatory changes during rapid maturation.

This study shows that low-dose MC-LR causes distinct sex-specific transcriptional responses in aging killifish, highlighting sex as a key factor in cyanotoxin vulnerability.

This study shows PFOA exposure amplifies normal developmental gene expression programs in African killifish, with greater effects post-hatching than during embryonic stages.

This study shows that PFAS exposure during the maternal-to-zygotic transition disrupts gene regulatory networks and alters developmental outcomes in zebrafish.

This study shows that early-life TFA exposure in zebrafish embryos alters development and increases anxiety-like behaviors, with associated proteomic changes.

This study investigates how PFOA exposure disrupts neuro-muscular development in zebrafish embryos, revealing molecular perturbations linked to behavioral changes.

The paper investigates how shared retinoic acid response elements regulate nascent transcription of Hoxb genes in mouse neural tube development using smFISH.
