Despite <i>Oplegnathus</i> having typical healing beak-like teeth and tooth development showing a trend from discrete to healing, the potential role of BMPs in the development of the beak-like teeth is incompletely understood. In the present study, 19 and 16 BMP genes were found in <i>O. fasciatus</i> and <i>O. punctatus</i>, respectively, and divided into the BMP2/4/16, BMP5/6/7/8, BMP9/10, BMP12/13/14, BMP3/15 and BMP11 subfamilies.
