Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptomic signatures of attachment, NF-κB suppression and IFN stimulation in the catfish gill following columnaris bacterial infection.
TL;DR: The first transcriptomic profiling of host responses to columnaris following an experimental challenge is conducted, highlighting several putative immune pathways and individual candidate genes deserving of further investigation in the context of development of therapeutic regimens and laying the foundation for selection of resistant catfish lines against columnaris.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generation of genome-scale gene-associated SNPs in catfish for the construction of a high-density SNP array
Shikai Liu,Shikai Liu,Zunchun Zhou,Jianguo Lu,Fanyue Sun,Shaolin Wang,Hong Liu,Yanliang Jiang,Huseyin Kucuktas,Ludmilla Kaltenboeck,Eric Peatman,Zhanjiang Liu +11 more
TL;DR: The SNPs identified in this report will provide a much needed resource for genetic studies in catfish and will contribute to the development of a high-density SNP array.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient assembly and annotation of the transcriptome of catfish by RNA-Seq analysis of a doubled haploid homozygote
Shikai Liu,Shikai Liu,Yu Zhang,Zunchun Zhou,Geoff Waldbieser,Fanyue Sun,Jianguo Lu,Jiaren Zhang,Yanliang Jiang,Hao Zhang,Xiuli Wang,K.V. Rajendran,Lester H. Khoo,Huseyin Kucuktas,Eric Peatman,Zhanjiang Liu +15 more
TL;DR: The large set of transcripts assembled in this study is the most comprehensive set of genome resources ever developed from catfish, which will provide the much needed resources for functional genome research inCatfish, serving as a reference transcriptome for genome annotation, analysis of gene duplication, gene family structures, and digital gene expression analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microfibrillar-associated protein 4 (MFAP4) genes in catfish play a novel role in innate immune responses
Donghong Niu,Eric Peatman,Hong Liu,Jianguo Lu,Huseyin Kucuktas,Shikai Liu,Fanyue Sun,Hao Zhang,Tingting Feng,Zunchun Zhou,Jeffery S. Terhune,Geoff Waldbieser,Jiale Li,Zhanjiang Liu +13 more
TL;DR: The results suggest a novel role for MFAP4 in teleost immune responses and unique patterns of homeostatic expression among the genes in gill, spleen, skin, liver, and muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular characterization and expression analysis of the channel catfish cathepsin D genes
Tingting Feng,Hao Zhang,Hong Liu,Zunchun Zhou,Donghong Niu,Li Lian Wong,Huseyin Kucuktas,Xiaolin Liu,Eric Peatman,Zhanjiang Liu +9 more
TL;DR: The fact that bacterial infection can induce expression of the cathepsin D genes and that they appeared to be expressed naturally at higher levels in immune-related organs may suggest that they are an important component of the innate immune response of catfish against bacterial infections.
