TL;DR: It is suggested that most lineages of living fishes were already established in the Mesozoic Period, more than 65 million years ago, and genome-scale data support the structure of the fish phylogeny.

TL;DR: A potential heterogametic sex chromosome is identified in the female arowana karyotype, suggesting that the sex is determined by a ZW/ZZ sex chromosomal system, and differential gene expression among three varieties provides insights into the genetic basis of colour variation.

TL;DR: An international project known as the “Transcriptomes of 1,000 Fishes” (Fish-T1K) project has been established to generate RNA-seq transcriptome sequences for 1, thousand diverse species of ray-finned fishes.

TL;DR: The molecular-based phylogenetic tree indicated that O. rhinorhynchos has close affinities with fishes from family Ostraciidae as expected, and the complete mitochondrial genome sequence was reported.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors performed whole-genome sequencing and assembled a draft genome for Southern bluefin tuna, aiming to generate useful genetic data for comparative functional prediction, and the final genome assembly is 806.54 Mb, with scaffold and contig N50 values of 3.31 Mb and 67.38 kb, respectively.
