Heterologous hybridization to a complementary DNA microarray reveals the effect of thermal acclimation in the endothermic bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis).

29 Apr 2009 The temperature stress that pelagic fishes experience can induce physiological and behavioural changes that leave a signature in gene expression profiles. We used a functional genomics approach to identify genes that were up- or down-regulated ... Read more...

Simultaneous visual detection of single-nucleotide variations in tuna DNA using DNA/RNA chimeric probes and ribonuclease A.

22 Mar 2009 The need for detection of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is rapidly increasing for molecular diagnostics, species authentication, and food traceability. In many detection technologies, fluorescence probes have the advantage of simultaneous ... Read more...

High connectivity on a global scale in the pelagic wahoo, Acanthocybium solandri (tuna family Scombridae).

29 Sep 2008 The population genetic structure and phylogeography of wahoo, Acanthocybium solandri, were investigated on a global scale with intron six of lactate dehydrogenase-A (ldhA6, 8 locations, N = 213) and mtDNA cytochrome b (Cytb, 10 locations, N = 322). ... Read more...
