Six new species of the genus Junnanotrechus Uéno & Yin, 1993 are described from Yunnan Province, southern China: J. wrasei sp. n. (from the Diancang Shan Mt. R.), J. triporus sp. n. (from the mountains east of Weishan), J. schuelkei sp. n. (from the Ailao Shan Mountain Range), J. elegantulus sp. n. (from the Daxueshan Mount east of Mengsa Town), J. oblongus sp. n. (from the Daxueshan Mount west...

A web server has been developed to access annotation and graphical reports of synteny and gene order between the Fugu genome and human genes. In this system, the assembled Fugu genomic sequences (also known as scaffolds) are annotated. The annotations for each Fugu scaffold are computed, stored and made publicly available. The annotations describe matches to human homologous genes. For each sig...

In the sea bream Sparus auratus three stage-specific fast troponin T (fTnT) isoforms have been cloned and correspond to embryonic-, larval- and adult-specific isoforms. Characterisation, using database searches, of the putative genomic organisation of Fugu rubripes and Tetraodon nigroviridis fTnT indicates that alternative exon splicing in the 5 region of the gene generates the different isofor...
