The development of DNA-based genetic markers has had a revolutionary impact on animal
genetics. With DNA markers, it is theoretically possible to observe and exploit genetic …

Teleost fish, which roughly make up half of the extant vertebrate species, exhibit an amazing
level of biodiversity affecting their morphology, ecology and behaviour as well as many other …

In 2008, we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy.
Since then, this topic has received increasing attention, and many scientists have entered …

During the analysis of Ig superfamily members within the available rainbow trout
(Oncorhynchus mykiss) EST gene index, we identified a unique Ig heavy-chain (IgH) …

Background Salmonids are one of the most intensely studied fish, in part due to their
economic and environmental importance, and in part due to a recent whole genome …

Our objective was to analyse the hepatic transcriptomes of juvenile rainbow trout fed with a
plant-based diet. We focused our analysis on the total replacement of fish meal (FM) and fish …

The overall understanding of the sex differentiation cascade in vertebrates is still growing
slowly, probably because of the variety of vertebrate models used and the number of …

Antiviral immunity in fish is not well understood. In mammals, Toll-like receptor (TLR) 3 is
involved in double-stranded RNA recognition and host immune response activation. Here …

Evolutionary novelties require rewiring of transcriptional networks and/or the evolution of
new gene functions. Sex determination (SD), one of the most plastic evolutionary processes …

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a common research model in fish studies of toxicology,
developmental biology, neurobiology and molecular genetics; it has been proposed as a …
