Whole-genome duplication (WGD) events have shaped the history of many evolutionary
lineages. One such duplication has been implicated in the evolution of teleost fishes, by far …

High-throughput sequencing technologies are revolutionizing the life sciences. The past 12
months have seen a burst of genome sequences from non-model organisms, in each case …

The Ensembl gene annotation system has been used to annotate over 70 different
vertebrate species across a wide range of genome projects. Furthermore, it generates the …

Sturgeons seem to be frozen in time. The archaic characteristics of this ancient fish lineage
place it in a key phylogenetic position at the base of the~ 30,000 modern teleost fish …

To investigate the consequences of hybridization between species, we studied three
replicate hybrid populations that formed naturally between two swordtail fish species …

Abstract The European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) is a temperate-zone euryhaline
teleost of prime importance for aquaculture and fisheries. This species is subdivided into two …

Transposable elements (TEs) are major components of vertebrate genomes, with major
roles in genome architecture and evolution. In order to characterize both common patterns …

The Genome 10K Project was established in 2009 by a consortium of biologists and
genome scientists determined to facilitate the sequencing and analysis of the complete …

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 …

The evolution of reproductive barriers is the first step in the formation of new species and
can help us understand the diversification of life on Earth. These reproductive barriers often …
