Sequencing of the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) genome provides insights into vertebrate evolution
- J. Smith, Shigehiro Kuraku, +56 authors W. Li
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 1 April 2013
Lampreys are representatives of an ancient vertebrate lineage that diverged from our own ∼500 million years ago. By virtue of this deeply shared ancestry, the sea lamprey (P. marinus) genome is… Expand
The sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus genome reveals the early origin of several chemosensory receptor families in the vertebrate lineage
- S. Libants, K. Carr, +5 authors W. Li
- Biology, Medicine
- BMC Evolutionary Biology
- 31 July 2009
BackgroundIn gnathostomes, chemosensory receptors (CR) expressed in olfactory epithelia are encoded by evolutionarily dynamic gene families encoding odorant receptors (OR), trace amine-associated… Expand
β-naphthoflavone induction of CYP1A in brain of juvenile lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush Walbaum)
- Yu-Wen Chung-Davidson, Christopher B. Rees, H. Wu, Sang-Seon Yun, W. Li
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Experimental Biology
- 1 April 2004
SUMMARY Many environmental pollutants induce expression of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A subfamily of genes. We integrated cellular and molecular biological techniques to examine the effects of… Expand
Intestinal synthesis and secretion of bile salts as an adaptation to developmental biliary atresia in the sea lamprey
- Chu‐Yin Yeh, Yu-Wen Chung-Davidson, H. Wang, K. Li, W. Li
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 25 June 2012
Bile salt synthesis is a specialized liver function in vertebrates. Bile salts play diverse roles in digestion and signaling, and their homeostasis is maintained by controlling input (biosynthesis)… Expand
Metabolism of a sea lamprey pesticide by fish liver enzymes part A: identification and synthesis of TFM metabolites
- U. Bussy, Yu-Wen Chung-Davidson, +4 authors W. Li
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry
- 1 February 2018
The sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) is a destructive invasive species in the Great Lakes that contributed to the collapse of native fish populations in the mid-1900s. 3-Trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol… Expand
Metabolism of a sea lamprey pesticide by fish liver enzymes part B: method development and application in quantification of TFM metabolites formed in vivo
- U. Bussy, Yu-Wen Chung-Davidson, +4 authors W. Li
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry
- 1 February 2018
The sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) is a destructive invasive species in the Great Lakes. Since the 1960s, tons of the lampricide 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) has been applied to selected… Expand
Neurogenic and Neuroendocrine Effects of Goldfish Pheromones
- Yu-Wen Chung-Davidson, Christopher B. Rees, M. B. Bryan, W. Li
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of Neuroscience
- 31 December 2008
Goldfish (Carassius auratus) use reproductive hormones as endocrine signals to synchronize sexual behavior with gamete maturation and as exogenous signals (pheromones) to mediate spawning… Expand
Biosynthesis and release of pheromonal bile salts in mature male sea lamprey
- Cory O. Brant, Yu-Wen Chung-Davidson, K. Li, A. M. Scott, W. Li
- Biology, Medicine
- BMC Biochemistry
- 4 November 2013
BackgroundIn vertebrates, bile salts are primarily synthesized in the liver and secreted into the intestine where they aid in absorption of dietary fats. Small amounts of bile salts that are not… Expand
Ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry for simultaneous determination of natural steroid hormones in sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) plasma and tissues.
- H. Wang, U. Bussy, Yu-Wen Chung-Davidson, W. Li
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Journal of chromatography. B, Analytical…
- 15 January 2016
This study aims to provide a rapid, sensitive and precise UPLC-MS/MS method for target steroid quantitation in biological matrices. We developed and validated an UPLC-MS/MS method to simultaneously… Expand
The sea lamprey has a primordial accessory olfactory system
- S. Chang, Yu-Wen Chung-Davidson, +4 authors W. Li
- Biology, Medicine
- BMC Evolutionary Biology
- 17 August 2013
BackgroundA dual olfactory system, represented by two anatomically distinct but spatially proximate chemosensory epithelia that project to separate areas of the forebrain, is known in several classes… Expand
