Eight G protein‐coupled P2Y receptor subtypes respond to extracellular adenine and uracil
mononucleotides and dinucleotides. P2Y receptors belong to the δ group of rhodopsin‐like …

Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) are major components of complex lipid
molecules and are also involved in numerous critical biological processes. Studies …

Animal genomes show networks of deeply conserved gene linkages whose phylogenetic
scope and chromosomal context remain unclear. Here, we report chromosome-scale …

Although it is widely believed that early vertebrate evolution was shaped by ancient whole-
genome duplications, the number, timing and mechanism of these events remain elusive …

Ancient polyploidization events have had a lasting impact on vertebrate genome structure,
organization and function. Some key questions regarding the number of ancient …

To connect human biology to fish biomedical models, we sequenced the genome of spotted
gar (Lepisosteus oculatus), whose lineage diverged from teleosts before teleost genome …

The sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) serves as a comparative model for reconstructing
vertebrate evolution. To enable more informed analyses, we developed a new assembly of …

Oxytocin (OXT; hereafter OT) and arginine vasopressin or vasotocin (AVP or VT; hereafter
VT) are neurotransmitter ligands that function through specific receptors to control diverse …

Polyploidy or whole-genome duplication (WGD) is a major event that drastically reshapes
genome architecture and is often assumed to be causally associated with organismal …

Otoliths in bony fishes play an important role in the senses of balance and hearing. Otolith
mass and shape are, among others, likely to be decisive factors influencing otolith motion …
