The paper presents a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of the Arabian killifish, providing a genomic resource for comparative genomics studies.

Title: A de novo transcriptomic atlas of early embryo development in the Arabian killifish

This study creates a transcriptomic atlas of early Arabian killifish embryo development, identifying transcriptional modules across developmental stages and highlighting a delayed zygotic genome activation.

Gut microbiome composition and predicted functions relate to growth and behavior in a Japanese preschool cohort

The paper links gut microbiome composition and predicted functions to growth and behavior in Japanese preschool children, showing distinct microbial signatures for different behavioral domains.

Globin digest and its constituent peptides promote skeletal muscle hypertrophy and enhance physical performance

This study investigates the effects of globin digest and its peptides on skeletal muscle hypertrophy and physical performance in zebrafish, mice, and myoblasts, finding significant improvements in muscle growth and motor function.

Systems-level Investigation of the Anxiolytic Gut-Brain Interactions induced by Paraprobiotic Lactobacillus brevis SBC8803 in Zebrafish

This study investigates the anxiolytic effects of heat-killed Lactobacillus brevis SBC8803 in zebrafish, revealing gut-brain interactions through multi-omics analyses.

Histo-anatomical atlas and thermal tolerance of Garra rufa: A novel small teleost model adaptable to human body temperature

This paper provides a histo-anatomical atlas of Garra rufa, highlighting its unique morphological features and thermal tolerance, establishing it as a potential novel experimental model.

Induced tolerance to UV stress drives survival heterogeneity in isogenic E. coli cell populations

This study shows that E. coli survives UV stress through inducible DNA repair rather than pre-existing tolerance.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of the doctor fish (Garra rufa)

This paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of Garra rufa, identifies heat shock-related genes, and highlights its evolutionary relationship to other cyprinid species.
