Japan · RIKEN: Analysis of the whole genome sequence of sharks – “Inu Shark” “Tiger shark” “Whale shark”

A collaborative research group of RIKEN · Biological Function Science Research Center, Molecular Sequence Comparative Analysis Unit etc analyzed the whole genome sequence of “Inu shark”, “Tiger shark” and “Whale shark”.

High-precision genomic information obtained from this research contributes to “the development and ecology of cartilage fish and the study of breeding and breeding in aquarium.”

“Cartilaginous Fish”: Cartilage fish occupies a unique position in vertebrate evolution and marine ecosystem.
