“…This challenge at first may seem inconsequential, but a lack of a logical nomenclature system for novel teleost steroid receptor paralogs may hinder a clear understanding of their functions. With the advent of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technologies, numerous non-traditional laboratory species, including teleost fishes, are emerging as genetically tractable for a variety of research questions (reviewed in Alward et al, 2023; Jackson et al, 2023; Juntti, 2019), including those related to steroid hormone function (Alward et al, 2020; Crowder et al, 2018; Faught and Vijayan, 2019, 2018; Muto et al, 2013; Yin et al, 2017; Yong et al, 2017; Ziv et al, 2013). Therefore, it is important for logical, consistent nomenclature to be used for steroid receptors and their genes across teleost fishes.…”
