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.
Abstract: Catfish represent 12% of teleost or 6.3% of all vertebrate species, and are of enormous economic value. Here we report a high-quality reference genome sequence of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), the major aquaculture species in the US. The reference genome sequence was validated by genetic mapping of 54,000 SNPs, and annotated with 26,661 predicted protein-coding genes. Through comparative analysis of genomes and transcriptomes of scaled and scaleless fish and scale regeneration experiments, we address the genomic basis for the most striking physical characteristic of catfish, the evolutionary loss of scales and provide evidence that lack of secretory calcium-binding phosphoproteins accounts for the evolutionary loss of scales in catfish. The channel catfish reference genome sequence, along with two additional genome sequences and transcriptomes of scaled catfishes, provide crucial resources for evolutionary and biological studies. This work also demonstrates the power of comparative subtraction of candidate genes for traits of structural significance. Catfish represent 6.3% of all vertebrate species, and occupy a phylogenetic position close to the common ancestor of bony fish. Liu et al. present a reference genome of the channel catfish, and reveal a genomic basis for the evolutionary loss of scales in these species.

TL;DR: In this article, the velocity covariance above and within a plant canopy (Zea mays L) was examined using the technique of quadrant analysis to separate the momentum transport into events classified as sweep, ejection and outward and inward interactions.
Abstract: The u, w velocity covariance above and within a plant canopy (Zea mays L) was examined using the technique of quadrant analysis to separate the momentum transport into events classified as sweep, ejection, and outward and inward interactions. A hyperbolic hole of variable size acted as an excluded region in the u, w domain to asses the relative importance of short-lived events of large magnitude. The results of the analysis were a reasonably close match to rough-wall wind tunnel studies but differed in some respects from a similar experiment performed elsewhere in a flexible wheat canopy. Generally, sweeps exceeded ejections in their contribution to the Reynolds stress, especially at mid-canopy, while the interaction events were of minor importance. Sweeps that were large in magnitude relative to the time-averaged stress were evident at all levels and were intermittent in character. Compared with the layers above, the effect of the canopy was to increase the dominance of sweeps over ejections and...
