Halibut Cook Inlet reported increased instances of a condition known as "mushy halibut syndrome". The meat of affected fish has a "jelly-like" consistency. When cooked it does not flake in the normal manner of halibut but rather falls apart. The meat is still perfectly safe to eat but the appearance and consistency are considered unappetizing. The exact cause of the condition is unknown but may be related to a change in diet. Halibut Halibut is a common name principally applied to the two flatfish in the genus "Hippoglossus" from the family of right-eye flounders. Less commonly, and in some regions only,
IsomiR isomiRs have been detected deregulated in D. melanogaster development and differential expressed during "Hippoglossus hippoglossus" L. early development, suggesting a biologically relevant function. IsomiR isomiR is a term coined by Morin et al. to refer to those sequences that have variations with respect to the reference miRNA sequence. miRBase is considered to be the gold-standard miRNA database—it stores miRNA sequences detected by thousand of experiments. In this database each miRNA is associated with a miRNA precursor and with one or two mature miRNA (-5p and -3p). Similarly, VIRmiRNA is the only available resource for miRNA in the field of virus.
