Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Research on marine animal genetics, reproduction and development can help identify the general patterns and causes of adaptation and understand the genetic mechanisms of marine organisms; at the same time, it can also scientifically predict the development and evolutionary direction of marine organisms and help formulate a more reasonable strategy for the exploitation of marine biological resources. This Special Issue will cover aspects of the genetic, reproduction and development of marine animals, e.g. population genetics, genomes, transcriptome, genes, reproduction and development. We invite both conceptual reviews and case studies that expand our knowledge in the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying the adaptive evolution of marine animals.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Genes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Integrated networks have become a new interest in genome-scale network research due to their ability to comprehensively reflect and analyze the molecular processes in cells. Currently, none of the integrated networks have been reported for higher organisms. Eriocheir sinensis is a typical aquatic animal that grows through ecdysis. Ecdysone has been identified to be a crucial regulator of ecdysis, but the influence factors and regulatory mechanisms of ecdysone synthesis in E. sinensis are still unclear. In this work, the genome-scale metabolic network and protein–protein interaction network of E. sinensis were integrated to reconstruct a metabolic–protein interaction integrated network (MPIN). The MPIN was used to analyze the influence factors of ecdysone synthesis through flux variation analysis. In total, 236 integrated reactions (IRs) were found to influence the ecdysone synthesis of which 16 IRs had a significant impact. These IRs constitute three ecdysone synthesis routes. It is found that there might be alternative pathways to obtain cholesterol for ecdysone synthesis in E. sinensis instead of absorbing it directly from the feeds. The MPIN reconstructed in this work is the first integrated network for higher organisms. The analysis based on the MPIN supplies important information for the mechanism analysis of ecdysone synthesis in E. sinensis. Full article

The black sea bass, Centropristis striata, is a potential candidate for commercial aquaculture. Due to inadequate removal of nitrogen in its breeding environment, C. striata exhibits increased nitrate concentration, which can cause acute toxicity, including energy metabolism damage and tissue damage. Therefore, RNA-seq technology was applied to characterize genes associated with toxicity tolerance under nitrate stress. The nitrate treatment caused significant changes in a total of 8920 genes, of which 2949 genes were up-regulated and 5971 genes were down-regulated. It was found that significantly enriched GO terms and KEGG were associated with blood microparticles, inhibitors of enzyme activity, and complement and coagulation cascade pathways. Furthermore, through bioinformatics analysis, it was found that these different pathways obtained in GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were mostly related to the immune and inflammatory response of fish. This study expands our understanding of the mechanism of nitrate stress affecting the liver function of C. striata. Full article
