Melanogenesis is mostly studied in melanocytes and melanoma cells, but much less is
known about other pigment cell systems. Liver, spleen, kidney, and other organs of lower …

Superficial discolored spots on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) fillets are a serious quality
problem for commercial seafood farming. Previous reports have proposed that the black …

Transcriptome profiles of albino and wild type catfish were generated using next generation
high-throughput RNA sequencing technology and compared. A total of 1106 differentially …

High-throughput spatial transcriptomics has emerged as a powerful tool for investigating the
spatial distribution of mRNA expression and its effects on cellular function. There is a lack of …

Vertebrates use adaptive mechanisms when exposed to physiologic stresses. However, the
mechanisms of pigmentation regulation in response to physiologic stresses largely remain …

Yellow mutant rainbow trout (YR), an economically important aquaculture species, is
popular among consumers due to its excellent meat quality and attractive appearance. Skin …

The skin of fish is the first line of defense against pathogens and parasites. The skin
transcriptome of the Atlantic salmon is poorly characterized, and currently only 2,089 …

Transcriptomics provides valuable data for functional annotations of genes, the discovery of
biomarkers, and quantitative assessment of responses to challenges. Meta-analysis of …

The present study was performed to address putative links between the immune and
pigmentary systems. A pigment-producing leukocyte-like cell-line (SHK-1 cells) of Atlantic …

Background Warmer seawater as a result of climate change may impose environmental
challenges for Atlantic salmon aquaculture in its southernmost geographic range. Seawater …
