A post-embryonic specific and ecologically selective network underlies metamorphic remodelling in teleosts

This study identifies a conserved post-embryonic gene network in teleost fish that is responsive to thyroid hormone and ecological variation, showing how it evolves through gene copy number changes.

One species or several? Genomic evidence for deep divergence within the widely distributed anemonefish Amphiprion clarkii species complex

This study uses whole genome re-sequencing to reveal deep divergence within the Amphiprion clarkii species complex, identifying five lineages and challenging the taxonomic status of A. tricinctus.

Hidden diversity and host specificity of Cladocopium symbionts revealed by phylotranscriptomics in giant sea anemones.

This study identifies novel, host-specific Symbiodiniaceae strains in giant sea anemones using phylotranscriptomics, revealing hidden diversity and cophylogenetic relationships.

Macrophage extracellular traps promote maladaptive cardiac remodelling and heart failure via PAD4-dependent mechanisms

This study shows that macrophage extracellular traps (METs) contribute to heart failure by promoting cardiac remodelling through PAD4-dependent mechanisms, and targeting METs may offer therapeutic potential.

Cell-cell communication as underlying principle governing color pattern formation in fishes

The paper identifies a gene involved in pigment cell communication that governs color pattern formation in zebrafish and anemonefish.

Decoding the constraints acting on a coastal fish using landscape transcriptomics

The paper uses landscape transcriptomics to show urbanization in coastal habitats leads to inflammation and immune gene expression changes in fish, resembling overfed lab conditions.

Socially regulated developmental plasticity in the color pattern of an anemonefish

This study shows that social environment influences the timing of color pattern changes in anemonefish juveniles through gene expression and apoptosis mechanisms.

Anemonefish use sialic acid metabolism as Trojan horse to avoid giant sea anemone stinging

This paper investigates how anemonefish avoid triggering sea anemone nematocysts by reducing sialic acid levels in their mucus, suggesting a Trojan horse mechanism for symbiosis.

The genome of the sapphire damselfish Chrysiptera cyanea: a new resource to support further investigation of the evolution of Pomacentrids

The paper presents the first genome assembly of a Pomacentrid fish, Chrysiptera cyanea, using long-read sequencing, providing a resource for studying evolutionary adaptations and environmental monitoring.

The multi-level regulation of clownfish metamorphosis by thyroid hormones

This study investigates how thyroid hormones regulate metamorphosis in clownfish by coordinating color vision changes and metabolic shifts, revealing their integrative role in life cycle transitions.

The chromosome-scale genome assembly of the yellowtail clownfish Amphiprion clarkii provides insights into melanic pigmentation of anemonefish

This paper presents a high-quality chromosome-scale genome assembly of the yellowtail clownfish Amphiprion clarkii and identifies a potential link between erbb3b gene copy number and melanism polymorphism.

Endothelial expression of human APP leads to cerebral amyloid angiopathy in mice

This study shows that expressing human APP in endothelial cells of mice leads to cerebral amyloid angiopathy, highlighting the role of both neuronal and endothelial APP in vascular Aβ deposition.
