The quail (Coturnix japonica) is an economically important poultry species and a useful avian model for muscle biology. Although circular RNA (circRNA)–miRNA competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks have been described in chicken and duck skeletal muscle, their roles in quail remain poorly defined. We identified cir...
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant and evolutionarily conserved internal epitranscriptomic modification on eukaryotic mRNA, playing pivotal roles in animal growth, development, metabolism, and immune responses by modulating mRNA splicing, stability, and translation efficiency. With advancements in technologi...
Cyprinus carpio
var.
Quanzhounensis
(WuLi carp), a native fish from Quanzhou, Guangxi, China, is well-adapted to mountainous rice-fish farming systems, yet genomic studies on the strain remain scarce. This study presents the first near telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome and gapless assembly of
