| the medaka draft genome and insights into vertebrate genome evolution. | teleosts comprise more than half of all vertebrate species and have adapted to a variety of marine and freshwater habitats. their genome evolution and diversification are important subjects for the understanding of vertebrate evolution. although draft genome sequences of two pufferfishes have been published, analysis of more fish genomes is desirable. here we report a high-quality draft genome sequence of a small egg-laying freshwater teleost, medaka (oryzias latipes). medaka is native to east a ... | 2007 | 17554307 |
