Transcriptome Analysis of the Octopus vulgaris Central Nervous System
TL;DR: This study presents the first CNS transcriptome analysis of O. vulgaris and constructed the Phylogenetic tree using two genes related to CNS function, Synaptotagmin-7 and Synaptophysin, to accelerate the study of functional molecular neurobiology and comparative evolutionary biology.
Cloning and expression analysis of apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) in the Hong Kong grouper (Epinephelus akaara)
TL;DR: ApoA-I gene was successfully expressed using a pET28a(+) vector and acquired a highly purified protein that showed potent antimicrobial activity against the Gram-positive bacterium S. aureus as well as the gram-negative bacteria E. coli , P. damselae and V. harveyi, indicating that ApoA- I may have a broad-spectrum antibacterial property to fish innate immunity.

Differentiation of coral trout (Plectropomus leopardus) based on an analysis of morphology and complete mitochondrial DNA: Are cryptic species present?
TL;DR: The color pattern difference, geographical distribution, together with the mtDNA and barcode sequencing data, suggest that the two morphotypes should be of two subspecies or even two species.

Genomic organization, promoter characterization and expression analysis of the leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin-2 gene in Epinephelus akaraa.
TL;DR: The expression pattern demonstrates the role of EaLECT2 in the immune response and its functions under other conditions and provides a unique basis for substantial work in future projects.

Transcriptome Profiling and Expression Localization of Key Sex-Related Genes in a Socially-Controlled Hermaphroditic Clownfish, Amphiprion clarkii
TL;DR: This article performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis of gonads from females, males, and nonbreeders of Amphiprion clarkii, which constitute a complete social group, allowing them to investigate the molecular regulatory network under social control.
