The loach haplotype-resolved genome and the identification of Mex3a involved in fish air breathing
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Fish air breathing is crucial for the transition of vertebrates from water to land. So far, the genes involved in fish air breathing have not been well identified. Here, we performed gene enrichment analysis of positively selected genes (PSGs) in loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, an air-breathing fish) in comparison to Triplophysa tibetana (a non-air-breathing fish), haplotype-resolved genome assembly of the loach, and gene evolutionary analysis of air-breathing and non-air-breathing fishes and found that the PSG mex3a originated from ancient air-breathing fish species. Deletion of Mex3a impaired loach air-breathing capacity by inhibiting angiogenesis through its interaction with T-box transcription factor 20. Mex3a overexpression significantly promoted angiogenesis. Structural analysis and point mutation revealed the critical role of the 201st amino acid in loach Mex3a for angiogenesis. Our findings innovatively indicate that the ancient mex3a is a fish air-breathing gene, which holds significance for understanding fish air breathing and provides a valuable resource for cultivating hypoxia-tolerant fish varieties.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
