Article Synopsis
- The viviparous eelpout, Zoarces viviparus, is a widely distributed fish in the North Atlantic that serves as an effective marine bioindicator for monitoring environmental health due to its sensitivity to pollution.
- Researchers have successfully assembled its chromosome-level genome, which is 663 Mb in size and highly complete, containing 98% of a benchmark set of genes for ray-finned fish.
- This genome assembly will facilitate future studies on how environmental changes, particularly global warming, impact this important species and its habitats.
Background: Colour expression is highly variable in animals. In fishes, rapid colour change, i.e.
