Comparative genomic analysis of immune-related genes and chemosensory receptors provides insights into the evolution and adaptation of four major domesticated Asian carps
This study has successfully constructed the high-quality genomes of Ctenopharyngodon idella, Mylopharyngodon piceus, and Hypophthalmichthys nobilis. The comparative genomic analysis revealed the evolution of immune-related genes and chemosensory receptors in the four major domesticated Asian carp species. These findings suggested the enhanced immunity and sensory perception in these species, providing valuable insights into their adaptation, survival and reproduction.
