De novo assembly of the black flounder genome. Why do pleuronectiformes have such a small genome size?

This study assembles the black flounder genome and investigates why Pleuronectiformes have a small genome size, finding that reduced transcript size, particularly exon number and large introns, contributes to this reduction.

The Central Nervous System Acts As A Transducer Of Stress-Induced Masculinization Through Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone B

The paper investigates the role of corticotropin-releasing hormone b and its receptors in stress-induced sex reversal in medaka fish, showing their necessity for thermal stress-induced masculinization.
