Transcriptome analysis for shark reproduction biology
Approximately 70% of cartilaginous fishes exhibit viviparity, and their modes of nutritional provisioning to their fetuses are highly variable. To understand how differences in... -
Scyliorhinus torazame transcriptome project
To collect the embryos, we obtained male and female adults which inhabit near the Japanese coast and maintained in aquarium tanks and harvested eggs. We used stage 23-31 embryos... -
Elasmobranch shark genome evolution
Modern cartilaginous fishes are divided into elasmobranchs (sharks, rays, and skates) and chimaeras, and the lack of established whole-genome sequence information for... -
RNA-seq analysis of the embryonic intestine and yolk sac membrane of cloudy c...
Oviparous cartilaginous fish embryos are nourished solely by yolk during the development. To understand the nutrient absorption mechanism and accompanying genes involved in... -
Transcriptomics comparative analysis of the Japanese inshore hagfish, Eptatre...
Vertebrates consist of two main phylogenetic groups: jawed vertebrates, or gnathostomes, and cyclostomes, extant agnathans. Therefore, comparisons between gnathostomes and...
