The seahorse genome

  Seahorses have a specialized morphology that includes a toothless tubular mouth, a body covered with bony plates, a male brood pouch, and the absence of caudal and pelvic fins. Here we report the sequencing and  de novo  assembly of the genome of the tiger tail seahorse,  Hippocampus comes . Comparative genomic analysis identifies higher protein and nucleotide evolutionary rates in  H. comes  compared with other teleost fish genomes. We identified an astacin metalloprotease gene family that has undergone expansion and is highly expressed in the male brood pouch. We also find that the  H. comes  genome lacks enamel matrix protein-coding proline/glutamine-rich secretory calcium-binding phosphoprotein genes, which might have led to the loss of mineralized teeth.  tbx4 , a regulator of hindlimb development, is also not found in  H. comes  genome. Knockout of  tbx4  in zebrafish showed a ‘pelvic fin-loss’ phenotype similar t...
