Transcriptomic signatures associated with mania-to-depression and depression-to-mania transitions in bipolar disorder: a case report using induced microglia-like (iMG) cells

The paper identifies gene expression patterns associated with mood state transitions in bipolar disorder using induced microglia-like cells from a single patient.

The number of anal fin-rays is decided by two heritable traits, anteroposterior length of the anal fin and interval between the anal fin-rays

The paper shows that anal fin-ray number in medaka is influenced by two heritable traits: anal fin length and interval between rays, with temperature affecting these traits.

ttc39bl, one of the two duplicated paralogs of the tetratricopeptide repeat domain 39B gene, is essential for carotenoid coloration in medaka (Oryzias latipes) and is the gene responsible for the r locus.

The paper identifies ttc39bl as the gene responsible for carotenoid coloration in medaka, showing a mutation in the X chromosome causes white body color.

Pax3 and Pax7 function in combination with Mitf to generate melanophores and xanthophores in medaka and zebrafish

This study shows that Pax3 and Pax7 work with Mitf to control melanophore and xanthophore development in medaka and zebrafish, revealing a conserved but complex regulatory network.

A genetic model of congenital intestinal atresia in medaka (Oryzias latipes) implicates Mypt1 in epithelial organisation

This paper identifies a medaka mutant with congenital intestinal atresia, linking Mypt1 dysfunction to actomyosin dysregulation and epithelial disorganisation.
