TL;DR: A high-quality reference genome sequence of channel catfish is reported, providing evidence that lack of secretory calcium-binding phosphoproteins accounts for the evolutionary loss of scales in catfish and demonstrates the power of comparative subtraction of candidate genes for traits of structural significance.
Journal ArticleDOI
A genome-wide association study in catfish reveals the presence of functional hubs of related genes within QTLs for columnaris disease resistance
Xin Geng,Jin Sha,Shikai Liu,Lisui Bao,Jiaren Zhang,Ruijia Wang,Jun Yao,Chao Li,Jianbin Feng,Fanyue Sun,Luyang Sun,Chen Jiang,Yu Zhang,Ailu Chen,Rex A. Dunham,Degui Zhi,Zhanjiang Liu +16 more
TL;DR: Four QTLs associated with columnaris resistance in catfish are revealed and many candidate genes on the four associated regions are involved in PI3K pathway that is known to be required by many bacteria for efficient entry into the host.
Journal ArticleDOI
A genome-wide association study of heat stress-associated SNPs in catfish.
Yulin Jin,Tao Zhou,Xin Geng,Shikai Liu,Ailu Chen,Jun Yao,Chen Jiang,Suxu Tan,Baofeng Su,Zhanjiang Liu +9 more
TL;DR: A genome-wide association study was carried out using the 250 K catfish SNP array with interspecific backcross progenies, which derived from crossing female channel catfish with male F1 hybrid catfish, to better understand the molecular basis of heat stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) genes in channel catfish is highly regulated and time dependent after bacterial challenges.
Jun Yao,Chao Li,Jiaren Zhang,Shikai Liu,Jianbin Feng,Ruijia Wang,Yun Li,Chen Jiang,Lin Song,Ailu Chen,Zhanjiang Liu +10 more
TL;DR: The most striking findings of this study was that the expression of the NOS genes are highly regulated after bacterial infection, with time-dependent expression patterns that parallel the migration of macrophages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptome Display During Testicular Differentiation of Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) as Revealed by RNA-Seq Analysis.
Qifan Zeng,Shikai Liu,Jun Yao,Yu Zhang,Zihao Yuan,Chen Jiang,Ailu Chen,Qiang Fu,Baofeng Su,Rex A. Dunham,Zhanjiang Liu +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted transcriptomic comparison of gene expression of male and female gonads at 90, 100, and 110 dpf using high-throughput RNA-Seq.
