Phylogenomics reveals coincident divergence between giant host sea anemones and the clownfish adaptive radiation.

This paper uses phylogenomic analysis to show that clownfish-hosting sea anemones diversified coincidently with clownfishes, supporting co-evolutionary patterns in their mutualistic relationship.

Rapid spectrophotometric detection for optimized production of landomycins and characterization of their therapeutic potential

This study improves landomycin production in Streptomyces cyanogenus using spectrophotometric methods and characterizes their antimicrobial and anticancer activities.

Biallelic variants in LARS1 induce steatosis in developing zebrafish liver via enhanced autophagy

This study identifies biallelic LARS1 variants as a cause of infantile liver failure by showing they induce steatosis via enhanced autophagy in zebrafish.

Anemonefish are better taxonomists than humans.

The paper uses transcriptomic data to reveal cryptic lineages within the bubble-tip sea anemone and shows that anemonefish species are associated with specific lineages.

Oral supplementation of gut microbial metabolite indole-3-acetate alleviates diet-induced steatosis and inflammation in mice

This study shows that oral administration of indole-3-acetate reduces liver steatosis and inflammation in mice fed a high-fat diet.

Phylogenetic relationships among the clownfish-hosting sea anemones

This study conducts the largest phylogenetic analysis of clownfish-hosting sea anemones to assess their evolutionary relationships and biogeographic origins.
