#OTD 10 years ago we published the spotted #gar genome. 600+ citations later, we are proud of its impact on vertebrate genomics. @jpostlethwait.bsky.social Check out the new assemblies generated with @vertebrategenomes.bsky.social www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/gen... #EndlessFishMostBeautiful

Please repost and share! We look forward to seeing you there!

"Medaka: A novel model for analyzing genome-environment interactions" by Kiyoshi Naruse & colleagues "Endemic to habitats spanning from 4 to 40°C and varying salinities, [medaka] combines broad ecological adaptability with experimental tractability." Read more: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

Super cool work on medaka by @ewanbirney.bsky.social and colleagues www.cell.com/cell-genomic... Includes an excellent summary from Ewan via linkedin... and I maintain that 'humans aren't special' 😊 www.linkedin.com/pulse/little...

And it's out indeed! Huge congrats to @josanesousa.bsky.social, @gabrielalima19.bsky.social, @perezlouise.bsky.social & Hannah Schof! A true tour-de-force that highlights how emerging model systems can shed new light on long-standing macro-evolutionary questions. Go #axolotl, #polypterus #zebrafish!

Our Perspective article on Computational Strategies for Cross-Species Knowledge Transfer is now published in @natmethods.nature.com! This was a collab b/w @krishnanlab.bsky.social & @fishevodevogeno.bsky.social, led by the amazing Hao Yuan @yhbioinfo.bsky.social. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How do four-eyed fish see above & underwater? 🌤️🌊 Our new preprint reveals how Anableps rewired its retina for dual vision- evolution at work 👁️👁️ Kudos to @perezlouise.bsky.social @josanesousa.bsky.social @keylapruett.bsky.social + team! 🔗 tinyurl.com/3a8r9xy5

@snbogan.bsky.social @notothentoma.bsky.social @scotthotaling.bsky.social @paulbfrandsen.bsky.social et al. explore the evolution of type III antifreeze proteins in deep sea zoarcoid fishes. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaf219 #evobio #molbio

Why are some species smaller than a paperclip while others grow longer than a school bus? How is body size evolution governed in animals? Out now in @pnas.org we tackle these longstanding questions through a genetic lens using my favorite group of fishes as our model!! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

👻 G-g-ghost? Nope, s-s-snailfish! 🤍 Meet the mesmerizing new addition to our Into the Deep/En lo Profundo exhibit, rough snailfish! These ethereal charmers live in the benthic zone, a scientific term for the seafloor.

Congrats @liujuan.bsky.social, our very own @zzhou32.bsky.social and all co-authors! Fintastic work!

Update of our preprint on Inter-individual gene expression variability in fishes! We improved statistical analyses of continuous variables, and especially added machine learning on promoters which confirms cis-regulation of organ-specific expression variability. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our latest issue is now live! On the cover is a species of Asian noodlefish characterized by their transparency due to the absence of red blood cells, slender bodies and scaleless skins, and a poorly ossified skeleton. www.cell.com/current-biol...

We take for granted that our hands have two sides and can articulate in an endless number of ways. But what about a fish’s fin? Can a fish know something “like the back of its fin,” or have its future told with a fin palm reading? Check out this bluetorial to find out 👇🧪🧬🐟 doi.org/10.1101/2025...

The Braasch Lab @fishevodevogeno.bsky.social will soon post a position to replace manager of our *Ancient Fish Facility* at Michigan State. Looking for aquaculturist excited for unusual 🐟 species (gar, bowfin, paddlefish, polypterus) + zebrafish. Pls send candidates our way (DM or [email protected])!
