Construction of the graph genomes of Takifugu provides novel insights into the genomic mechanisms of population structure and migratory traits.
Article in BMC biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe genus Takifugu includes highly valued fish species known for their delicate flavor, making them popular in multiple countries. However, many species from this genus face significant threats. In order to better understand the genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics of Takifugu, a syntelog-based pan-genome and graph genome were constructed using the data of seven Takifugu species.
resultsThe analysis of 28,085 syntelog groups (SGs) composed of protein-coding genes revealed that only 57.3% of the SGs were shared among all individuals, whereas the remaining genes presented presence-absence variation (PAV) across the seven genomes. Using the graph genome as a reference, a population of 160 Takifugu individuals was analyzed, from which 20,133,471 SNPs, 4,606,141 Indels, and 152,200 SVs were identified. The gene flow analysis revealed directional gene flow from Takifugu bimaculatus and Takifugu flavidus to Takifugu oblongus. Notably, a 51-bp insertion in the ABCB9 gene differed significantly in frequency between the two migratory populations, suggesting the potential role of this gene in the migratory behavior of these species. Additionally, the expression profiles from 13 tissues or organs (brain, gallbladder, gill, gonad, heart, kidney, liver, muscle, pituitary, skin, spleen, stomach, and swim bladder) revealed a unique expression pattern in the liver, with the tissue-specific genes exhibiting evolutionary conservation to varying degrees. The highest proportion of core genes was found in the pituitary, whereas the lowest was found in the spleen.
conclusionsThis study provides comprehensive genomic resources that enhance the understanding of the genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics of Takifugu species. The findings offer insights for research on both breeding and conservation of Takifugu.
