Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Shangkun Du"
- Shangkun Du's research primarily focuses on the genomic characterization and conservation genetics of commercially important marine species, particularly those from the ark shell and clam families.
- In a study on Scapharca kagoshimensis, Du successfully performed a chromosome-level genome assembly to explore the molecular basis of heme biosynthesis, aiding in the development of genetic resources for breeding and conservation efforts.
- Additionally, Du developed novel polymorphic microsatellite markers for Solen grandis to assess genetic diversity and aid in conservation strategies for this species facing population decline due to environmental pressures.
