The CSIC Reproduction Biology group (ICM) has focused its studies on the use of specific microarrays enriched in reproduction, immune response and growth related genes in sea bass and turbot, with the aim to obtain a global gene expression data in samples collected at different development sampling points and under different environmental conditions, both biotic or abiotic. Moreover, it has collabored with other interested groups in the regulation of the fish reporduction, as well as in the epigenetic control of the gene expression. Furthermore, ICM has made available to other groups as well as the private sector, several techniques for the medition of epigenetic modifications (MSAP, ChIP-PCR, RRBS, etc.) in cultured fish under diverse environmental conditions or under different experimental treatmens (diet, stress...), using such techniques as diagnostic tools for the physiological conditions or as prognosis tool about the probable physiological response of animals under several environmental conditions. It is also worthy to be noted that the group of Dr. Piferrer has made available to other groups and the private sector techniques for the control of the reproduction of cultured fish, particularly the control of sex ratio and gonadal maturation.
