Bioinformatics of Glutathione Reductase Gene of Platy Fish, Xiphophorus maculatus Günther, 1866

In this study, the genomic organization of glutathione reductase (gsr) gene was determined in platyfish, xiphophorus maculatus which is an important model organism. for this purpose, we studied bioinformatics of glutathione reductase gene (gsr) (gene structure andidentification of gene, detecting of amino acid sequences encoded by other vertebrates, conserved gene synteny and phylogenetic relationships with other vertebrates) in platyfish, x. maculatus. however, bioinformatic studies of the gsr enzyme gene have not been performed in platyfish which is an important model organism. for all these purposes, in this study, the statistics obtained by using ensembl genomic database, ncbi database, bioedit software and mega6 program are presented. stress responses in fish can reveal multifaceted levels involving the effects of different gene groups and products. understanding the genetic characteristics of a model organism that reacts to stress is crucial for molecular studies. for this purpose, the characterization and identification of gsr, one of the antioxidant enzyme genes in platyfish, x. macullastus which is an important model organism, was made using bioinformatics tools and some data to be used in the future studies on the molecular stress response were presented to the scientific world.
