Open AccessRNAseq analysis of fast skeletal muscle in restriction-fed transgenic coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch): an experimental model uncoupling the growth hormone and nutritional signals regulating growth
Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) transgenic for growth hormone (Gh) express Gh in multiple tissues which results in increased appetite and continuous high growth with satiation feeding. Restricting Gh-transgeni...

Open AccessCharacterization of the transcriptome of fast and slow muscle myotomal fibres in the pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus)
The Pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) is a member of the Characiform family native to the Prata Basin (South America) and a target for the aquaculture industry. A limitation for the development of a selective breedi...

Open AccessProfiling of the embryonic Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus L.) transcriptome reveals maternal transcripts as potential markers of embryo quality
Commercial Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) farming is restricted by variable oocyte quality, slow growth, and early maturation of male fish. Maternally transferred components regulate early developme...

Open AccessFast skeletal muscle transcriptome of the Gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) determined by next generation sequencing
The gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) occurs around the Mediterranean and along Eastern Atlantic coasts from Great Britain to Senegal. It is tolerant of a wide range of temperatures and salinities and is ofte...

Effect of natural selection on the duplicated lysyl oxidase gene in Atlantic salmon
We examined the polymorphism of the lysyl oxidase (LOX) locus, involved in the initiation of muscle collagen cross-linking, in three populations of Atlantic salmon with different life histories and growth rates a...

Evolution of follistatin in teleosts revealed through phylogenetic, genomic and expression analyses
Follistatin (Fst) inhibits transforming growth factor-β (TGF-B) proteins and is a known regulator of amniote myogenesis. Here, we used phylogenetic, genomic and experimental approaches to study its evolution i...

Genes regulating the growth of myotomal muscle in teleost fish
Postembryonic muscle growth in fish differs from that in mammals in that new muscle fibres continue to be produced throughout much of the life cycle. Growth involves the proliferation of a population of myogen...
