Scale morphology represents a fundamental feature of fish and a key evolutionary trait underlying fish diversification. Despite frequent and recurrent scale loss throughout fish diversification, comprehensive genome-wide analyses of the genomic signatures associated with scale loss in divergent fish lineages remain scarce. In the current study, we investigated genome-wide signatures, specifically convergent protein-coding gene loss, amino acid substitutions, and cis-regulatory sequence changes, associated with recurrent scale loss in two divergent Cypriniformes lineages based on large-scale genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenetic data. Results demonstrated convergent changes in many genes related to scale formation in divergent scaleless fish lineages, including loss of P/Q-rich scpp genes (e.g. scpp6 and scpp7), accelerated evolution of non-coding elements adjacent to the fgf and fgfr genes, and convergent amino acid changes in genes (e.g. snap29) under relaxed selection. Collectively, these findings highlight the existence of a shared genetic architecture underlying recurrent scale loss in divergent fish lineages, suggesting that evolutionary outcomes may be genetically repeatable and predictable in the convergence of scale loss in fish.
