TL;DR: In this paper, a high-resolution, chromosome-level surface fish genome was presented, enabling the first genome-wide comparison between surface fish and cavefish populations, using this resource, they performed quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping analyses and found new candidate genes for eye loss such as dusp26.
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-transcriptional gene silencing by RNA interference in non-mammalian vertebrate systems: where do we stand?
TL;DR: There is no doubt that in few years RNAi silencing approaches will become the tool of choice to knock-down genes in all groups of non-mammalian vertebrates, fulfilling different purposes, from basic research to animal therapeutics and drug discovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identifying Sex of Neonate Turtles with Temperature-dependent Sex Determination via Small Blood Samples.
TL;DR: A new technique used to identify sex in neonate turtles of two TSD species, a freshwater turtle and a marine turtle, via analysis of small blood samples is described and Anti-Mullerian Hormone can be reliably detected in blood samples from neonate male turtles but not females and can be used as a sex-specific marker.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Genome of the Endangered Dryas Monkey Provides New Insights into the Evolutionary History of the Vervets
Tom van der Valk,Catalina Maria Gonda,Henri Silegowa,Sandra M. Almanza,Itzel Sifuentes-Romero,Terese B. Hart,John A. Hart,Kate M. Detwiler,Katerina Guschanski +8 more
TL;DR: Using whole-genome sequencing data, it is shown that the Dryas monkey represents a sister lineage to the vervets and has diverged from them and suggests that the current population carries sufficient genetic variability for long-term survival and might be larger than currently recognized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydric environmental effects on turtle development and sex ratio
TL;DR: How moisture may change the incubation conditions inside nests by changing the temperature experienced by eggs, which affects development, growth and sex ratios is shown.
