Project description:Sequential hermaphroditism, whereby the sex of one individual changes during its development, has been described in many fish species. Yet, the genetic regulation of this dynamic process of sexual differentiation is not well understood. Here, we report the characterization of sequential hermaphroditism in an aquacultural fish, the zig-zag eel (Mastacembelus armatus), based on 4 years of artificial breeding. All M. armatus individuals initially developed as females, with approximately half of them then becoming males after going through an intersex phase.
Project description:Combined analysis of 16S rRNA sequencing and metabolomics reveals the growth-promoting mechanism of compound probiotics in zig-zag eel (Mastacembelus armatus)
Project description:The process of producing the GRC zebrafish assembly included the high-quality sequencing and finishing of clones representing alternate haplotypes to corresponding regions in the current primary assembly. This project reports the variation between those alternate haplotype clones and the primary assembly.
