Genetic variations suggests that Takifugu rubripes, T. chinensis, and T. pseudommus are the same species with a shared gene pool by Ji Young Lee, Kun Hee Kim, Hyuk Je Lee, Sun-Goo Hwang, Tae Sun Kang

“…These variations were screened using ENSEMBL annotation and gene ontology analysis, and their potential association with morphological differences, such as dorsal spot patterns, was evaluated using reference Takifugu specimens.Results and discussionPopulation genetic analysis of T. rubripes, T. pseudommus, and T. chinensis using the CoI and CytB genes, combined with the 15 SSR loci, revealed clustering into a single genetic group characterized by remarkably low genetic diversity (four haplotypes, with diversity values ranging from 0.0000 to 0.00065) and minimal pairwise differentiation (microsatellite-based FST values ranging from -0.0021 to 0.0075). …”
