Homeostatic control and reproductive functions of humans are regulated at the molecular
levels largely by peptide hormones secreted from endocrine and/or neuroendocrine cells in …

Background Viviparity—live birth—is a complex and innovative mode of reproduction that
has evolved repeatedly across the vertebrate Tree of Life. Viviparous species exhibit …

Sequenced shark nuclear genomes are underrepresented, with reference genomes
available for only four out of nine orders so far. Here, we present the nuclear genome, with …

Despite increasing threats of extinction to Elasmobranchii (sharks and rays), whole genome-
based conservation insights are lacking. Here, we present chromosome-level genome …

Among vertebrates, sharks exhibit both large and heterogeneous genome sizes ranging
from 2.86 to 17.05 pg. Aiming for a better understanding of the patterns and causalities of …

Estimate of nuclear DNA content serves as an independent tool for validating the
completeness of whole genome sequences and investigating the among-species variation …

Sharks have thrived in the oceans for 400 million years, experienced five extinctions and
evolved into today's apex predators. However, enormous genome size, poor karyotyping …

Chondrichthyes is an important lineage to reconstruct the evolutionary history of vertebrates.
Here, we analyzed genome synteny for six chondrichthyan chromosome-level genomes …

Monitoring the diversity and distribution of species in an ecosystem is essential to assess the
success of restoration strategies. Implementing biomonitoring methods, which provide a …

The follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) and luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) in
cloudy catshark were cloned, and recombinant FSHR and LHR were expressed for …
