Moreover, the mRNA expression levels of connexin 35 (Cyp4v2 Cyp4v2 and chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter transcription factor 2 (Coup-tf2) genes in the brain of feeders were all higher than those of nonfeeders, potentially contributing to the food preference [ 22- 25].
We observed differential expression of Crbp, Rgr, Rdh8 and Gc in brains of feeders vs nonfeeders.
The four tag libraries of mandarin fish (the liver tissues of feeders and nonfeeders, the brain tissues of feeders and nonfeeders, respectively) were constructed in parallel using the Digital Gene Expression Tag Profile Kit (Illumina) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
"The tadpoles are bizarre-looking, transparent filter feeders – the blood vessels, gills, brain and gut are all visible through the body wall," Christopher Michaels with ZSL wrote in an EDGE blog.

"Hamster feeder?" he shouts.
