Comparative transcriptomics reveals candidate carotenoid color genes in an East African cichlid fish
Ahi, Ehsan Pashay; Lecaudey, Laurene Alicia; Ziegelbecker, Angelika; Steiner, Oliver; Glabonjat, Ronald; Goessler, Walter; Hois, Victoria; Wagner, Carina; Lass, Achim; Sefc, Kristina M (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Carotenoids contribute significantly to animal body coloration, including the spectacular color pattern diversity among fishes. Fish, as other animals, derive carotenoids from their diet. Following uptake, ... -
Conserved Molecular Players Involved in Human Nose Morphogenesis Underlie Evolution of the Exaggerated Snout Phenotype in Cichlids
Duenser, Anna; Singh, Pooja; Lecaudey, Laurène Alicia; Sturmbauer, Christian; Albertson, R. Craig; Gessl, Wolfgang; Ahi, Ehsan Pashay (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Instances of repeated evolution of novel phenotypes can shed light on the conserved molecular mechanisms underlying morphological diversity. A rare example of an exaggerated soft tissue phenotype is the formation of a snout ... -
Expression levels of the tetratricopeptide repeat protein gene ttc39b covary with carotenoid-based skin colour in cichlid fish
Ahi, Ehsan Pashay; Lecaudey, Laurene Alicia; Ziegelbecker, Angelika; Steiner, Oliver; Goessler, Walter; Sefc, Kristina M (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Carotenoid pigments play a major role in animal body colouration, generating strong interest in the genes involved in the metabolic processes that lead from their dietary uptake to their storage in the integument. Here, ... -
Molecular mechanisms underlying nuchal hump formation in dolphin cichlid, Cyrtocara moorii
Lecaudey, Laurene Alicia; Sturmbauer, Christian; Singh, Pooja; Ahi, Ehsan Pashay (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)East African cichlid fishes represent a model to tackle adaptive changes and their connection to rapid speciation and ecological distinction. In comparison to bony craniofacial tissues, adaptive morphogenesis of soft tissues ... -
Transcriptomics unravels molecular players shaping dorsal lip hypertrophy in the vacuum cleaner cichlid, Gnathochromis permaxillaris
Lecaudey, Laurene Alicia; Singh, Pooja; Sturmbauer, Christian; Dünser, Anna; Gessl, Wolfgang; Ahi, Ehsan Pashay (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background Teleosts display a spectacular diversity of craniofacial adaptations that often mediates ecological specializations. A considerable amount of research has revealed molecular players underlying skeletal ...
