Scientists complete Japanese rice fish genome after two decades, unlocking hidden DNA

After nearly two decades of research, scientists in Japan have completed the genetic blueprint of the Japanese rice fish, or medaka, filling in the remaining gaps in one of biology’s most important laboratory genomes. The study, published in Genome Research, reveals previously inaccessible regions of DNA that could deepen scientists’ understanding of chromosome function, sex […] The post Scientists complete Japanese rice fish genome after two decades, unlocking hidden DNA first appeared on…
