Repetitive genomic regions link structural genomic variation to species diversity
WorldPing
Researchers sequenced the genomes of three medaka, or Japanese rice fish, a common model organism used in biological research, nearly 10 and 20 years ago. While sequencing the genomes was relatively straightforward, assembling them was anything but.
