To connect human biology to fish biomedical models, we sequenced the genome of spotted
gar (Lepisosteus oculatus), whose lineage diverged from teleosts before teleost genome …

During the past decade, the kisspeptin system has been identified in various vertebrates,
leading to the discovery of multiple genes encoding both peptides (Kiss) and receptors (Kissr). …

Deorphanization of GPR54 receptor a decade ago led to the characterization of the kisspeptin
receptor (Kissr) in mammals and the discovery of its major role in the brain control of …

With more than 30,000 species, ray-finned fish represent approximately half of vertebrates.
The evolution of ray-finned fish was impacted by several whole genome duplication (WGD) …

Background The neuropeptide Kiss and its receptor KissR are key-actors in the brain control
of reproduction in mammals, where they are responsible for the stimulation of the activity of …

Since its discovery in mammals as a key-hormone in reproduction and metabolism, leptin has
been identified in an increasing number of tetrapods and teleosts. Tetrapods possess only …

The kisspeptin system has emerged as one of the main puberty gatekeepers among vertebrates.
The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is a remarkable model due to its phylogenetical …

Foxl2 is a member of the large family of Forkhead Box (Fox) domain transcription factors. It
emerged during the last 15 years as a key player in ovarian differentiation and oogenesis in …
