The paper identifies regulatory variation driving lineage divergence in European sea bass by analyzing epigenomic and genomic data from Atlantic and Mediterranean populations.

The paper compares immune responses to viral and bacterial stimuli in three bony fish species using transcriptomic analysis, identifying conserved gene expression patterns and pathways.

The paper identifies miR-199-5p as a regulator of ifi27l2a expression, linking it to VNN resistance in European seabass through differential expression and functional analysis.

The paper identifies a SNP variant associated with resistance to viral nervous necrosis in European sea bass by integrating genetic and functional genomic data.

The paper studies the evolution of conserved non-coding elements (CNEs) in teleost fish, finding extensive loss and gain of CNEs during early teleost evolution.

The paper presents the first reference genome assembly of the devil firefish, Pterois miles, and constructs the first teleost phylogeny including this species.

This paper presents the first complete genome assembly for the meagre, Argyrosomus regius, and identifies loci related to immune, fat metabolism, and growth adaptations, as well as sex-related genomic changes in Sciaenidae.

The paper develops and validates a combined-species SNP array for European seabass and gilthead seabream to enable high-throughput genotyping for genomic selection and population studies.

The paper analyzes genome-wide cytosine methylation changes in European sea bass RBCs after acute stress using an improved epiGBS protocol, identifying 57 differentially methylated cytosines near stress-related genes.

This study assembles a high-quality genome for the invasive silver-cheeked toadfish using MinION and Illumina data, achieving 98% BUSCO completeness.
