Genome-wide Characterization of Heat Shock Proteins in Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and Determination of Their Involvement in Diseases

Song, Lin (2014-11-24)

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) consist of a large group of chaperones whose expression is induced by a number of stresses such as exposures to high temperature, hypoxia and infection. In this study, I identified a total of ...

Genome-wide comparative analysis of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)

Jiang, Yanliang (2013-04-22)

Comparative map is a powerful tool to transfer the genomic information from well-studied model species to non-model species whose genomic resources are limited. Channel catfish is a primary aquaculture species in United ...

Genomic and transcriptomic analysis of genes involved in disease resistance against enteric septicemia of catfish (ESC) in catfish

Tan, Suxu (2018-11-08)

Catfish is the leading aquaculture species in the United States, accounting for over 50% of all U.S. aquaculture production. In recent years, catfish industry has been facing numerous challenges, including increased costs ...

Identification and analysis of genome-wide SNPs provide insight into signatures of selection and domestication in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)

Sun, Luyang (2014-12-10)

Domestication and selection for important performance traits can impact the genome, which is most often reflected by reduced heterozygosity in and surrounding genes related to traits affected by selection. In this study, ...

Identification and analysis of recently duplicated genes in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) genome

Zhang, Yu (2013-12-04)

Gene duplication is an important source of genetic innovation and structure and usually associated to the lineage-specific adaptive trait during evolution, such as genes related to immunity, development and reproduction. ...

Identification of sex determination gene(s) through comparative sequence analysis of X and Y chromosomes in channel catfish

Bao, Lisui (2017-07-07)

One of the most fundamental and fascinating processes of life is the determination of sex. Scientists have worked for hundreds of years to understand the mechanism of sex determination in the fields ...

Immune and gustatory roles of the channel catfish skin as revealed by comparative transcriptomic analyses

Gao, Sen (2016-08-09)

Fish scales are physical barriers protecting them from various external stresses, in particular, from pathogen infections. However, vast majority of catfishes are evolutionarily scaleless. How scaleless fish respond to ...

Osteocrin: identification, expression, and CRISPR/Cas9 analysis in scale development in teleost

Prabowo, Wendy (2017-07-27)

The completion of channel catfish genome sequencing provides a possibility of performing comparative genome studies. The comparative genome study between scaleless channel catfish and armor-scaled (bony dermal plate) ...

Second generation of catfish genetic linkage map and integration of catfish genetic linkage and physical maps using BAC-anchored microsatellites

Ninwichian, Parichart (2012-07-17)

Integration of physical and linkage maps is a critical step in building necessary genome resources for fine mapping of QTL, comparative genomics, and accurate and efficient whole genome assembly. Previously, we have ...

Study and evaluation of bigano snail (Stramonita haemastoma) as a marketable seafood species

Dong, Xuan (2013-12-03)

To evaluate whether a species is potentially edible, marketable and sustainable, we need to answer quite a few questions about what, why, where, who, when and how. This dissertation consists of five chapters. The basic ...

Terrestrial adaptation: Expansion of myoglobin and up-regulation of hemoglobin genes in the walking catfish (Clarias batrachus)

Li, Ning (2017-07-07)

Walking catfish (Clarias batrachus), a freshwater fish capable of locomotion on land, serves as a great model for understanding adaptations to terrestrial life. Through comparative genome analysis, here I report that no ...

Towards the identification of sex-determining gene(s) in channel catfish

Sun, Fanyue (2013-06-20)

Sex is the most fundamental feature in the life of an organism. Studying of sex determination is an important area in animal developmental and evolutionary biology, as well as ecology. In teleost, sex determination mechanism ...

Understanding Teleost Genome Structure and Organization: Alternative Splicing, Gene Duplication, and Whole Genome Assembly

Lu, Jianguo (2012-06-19)

We conducted both same-species and cross-species analysis utilizing the Genome Mapping and Alignment Program (GMAP) and an AS pipeline (ASpipe) to study AS in four genome-enabled species (Danio rerio, Oryzias latipes, ...
