Rapid de novo assembly of the European eel genome from nanopore sequencing reads
Hans J. Jansen,Michael Liem,Susanne Jong-Raadsen,Sylvie Dufour,Finn-Arne Weltzien,W. Swinkels,Alex Koelewijn,Arjan P. Palstra,Bernd Pelster,Herman P. Spaink,Guido van den Thillart,Ron P. Dirks,Christiaan V. Henkel,Christiaan V. Henkel +13 more
TL;DR: The genome of the endangered European eel is sequenced using the MinION by Oxford Nanopore and assembled using a novel algorithm specifically designed for large eukaryotic genomes, improving on a previous draft based on short reads only.
Regulation of Apoptotic Mediators Reveals Dynamic Responses to Thermal Stress in the Reef Building Coral Acropora millepora
Mathieu Pernice,Mathieu Pernice,Simon R. Dunn,Thomas Miard,Sylvie Dufour,Sophie Dove,Ove Hoegh-Guldberg +6 more
TL;DR: A model of heat stress in coral hosts is proposed whereby increasing temperatures engage activation of caspase 3-dependent apoptosis in cells designated for termination, but also the onset of a delayed protective response involving overexpression of Bcl-2 in surviving cells.
Origin and Evolution of the Neuroendocrine Control of Reproduction in Vertebrates, With Special Focus on Genome and Gene Duplications
Sylvie Dufour,Bruno Quérat,Hervé Tostivint,Catherine Pasqualini,Hubert Vaudry,Karine Rousseau +5 more
TL;DR: The paper reviews, from molecular and functional perspectives, the evolution across vertebrate radiation of some key-actors of the vertebrates neuroendocrine control of reproduction, and traces back their origin along the vertebrate lineage and in other metazoa before the emergence of vertebrates.

News from the endothelin-3/EDNRB signaling pathway: Role during enteric nervous system development and involvement in neural crest-associated disorders.
TL;DR: The known functions of the EDN3/EDNRB pathway during neural crest development are summarized, with a specific focus on recent scientific advances, and the enteric nervous system in normal and pathological conditions.

TL;DR: Three Kissr for the first time in a teleost, the eel, were differentially expressed in the brain-pituitary-gonadal axis, and differentially regulated in experimentally matured eels, as compared to prepubertal controls, indicating significant evolutionary constraints for the conservation of multiple Kissr paralogs in this species.
