chinese scientists have successfully 1 the genome of the pacific white 2 and acquired a high quality reference genome map of the species.
中国科学家成功解码太平洋白虾的基因组,得到该物种的高品质参照基因组。
xiang jianhai, researcher with institute of oceanology of the chinese academy of sciences, said scientists
3 a variety of sequencing technologies, and conducted numerous genome assembly approaches before achieving the results. it took scientists 10 years to complete the study.
li fuhua, researcher with the institute, said the
4 of the genome offered important material for the study of
5 benthic adaptation and
6, and would also help scientists in genomic breading and
7 improvement of the species.
the achievement was published on jan. 21 in nature communications.
the pacific white shrimp has an annual output of 4.16 million tonnes globally, and china produces a quarter of the total. china imports large quantities of shrimp
8 every year.
the
9 decoding can help china develop its own pacific white shrimp breeds, according to li.
