Transcriptomics of coloration phenotypes in cichlid fishes
This project contains several transcriptomes from African and Neotropical cichlids that were studied to investigate the genetic basis of coloration phenotypes. -
Lake_Malawi_cichlid_RNA_sequencing
Lake Malawi cichlid fish went through a recent adaptive radiation event, which generated more than 500 closely related species in less than 200,000 years. With similar genomic... -
Dynamic co-evolution of transposable elements and the piRNA pathway in East A...
East African cichlid fishes have diversified in an explosive fashion, but the (epi)genetic basis of the phenotypic diversity of these fishes remains largely unknown. Although... -
Sex chromosome evolution in cichlid fishes
Cichlid fishes are exceptionally diverse, with more than 2,000 species distributed across southern Asia, Africa, and the New World. Recent work has discovered unexpected... -

East African cichlid fishes have diversified in an explosive fashion, but the (epi)genetic basis of the phenotypic diversity of these fishes remains largely unknown. Although... -
Stripe pattern divergence in cichlid fish adaptive radiations
Convergent evolution of melanic horizontal stripes has been linked to a single locus harboring the gene agouti-related peptide 2 (agrp2). However, where and when the causal... -
Total RNA sequencing of the liver tissues of Oreochromis niloticus (Nile Tila...
Cichlids fishes exhibit extensive phenotypic diversification and speciation. In this study we integrate transcriptomic and proteomic signatures from two cichlids species,...
