The paper generates a genome-wide DNA methylation map of the adult zebrafish forebrain using long-read sequencing, revealing patterns of 5mC, 5hmC, and 6mA modifications.

The paper investigates the molecular evolution of nonapeptides in Tanganyika cichlids, finding positive selection in VTR2A receptors and a correlation between an amino acid variant and pair-bonding behavior.

The paper shows that optimistic and pessimistic cognitive biases in zebrafish affect stress reactivity and cancer progression, with optimists showing lower tumorigenesis.

This study shows that perturbing oxytocin neurons during zebrafish development leads to altered social behavior and neural connectivity in adulthood.
