Cod genomics makes cover story in Molecular Ecology
Tina Graceline Kirubakaran at CIGENE made the front page of Molecular Ecology with her first paper as main author. She and her coauthors showed that Arctic and coastal cod are kept genomically different by two […]
Salmon genome sequence published in Nature
Eighty million years ago, a mutant fish was born that turned out to be very successful. This mutant had a double set of hereditary material – 50 chromosomes instead of the usual 25 – and […]
