Open AccessEffect of growth rate on transcriptomic responses to immune stimulation in wild-type, domesticated, and GH-transgenic coho salmon
Transcriptomic responses to immune stimulation were investigated in coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) with distinct growth phenotypes. Wild-type fish were contrasted to strains with accelerated growth arising ei...

Open AccessA genomic view of the NOD-like receptor family in teleost fish: identification of a novel NLR subfamily in zebrafish
A large multigene family of NOD-like receptor (NLR) molecules have been described in mammals and implicated in immunity and apoptosis. Little information, however, exists concerning this gene family in non-mam...

Tissue-Specific Induction of Hsp90 mRNA and Plasma Cortisol Response in Chinook Salmon following Heat Shock, Seawater Challenge, and Handling Challenge
In studying the whole-body response of chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) to various stressors, we found that 5-hour exposure to elevated temperature (mean 21.6°C; + 10.6°C over ambient) induced a marked ...
