Genomic Approaches in Marine Biodiversity and Aquaculture

Recent advances in genomic and post-genomic technologies have now established the new standard in medical and biotechnological research. The introduction of next-generation sequencing, NGS,has resulted in the generation of thousands of genomes from all domains of life, including the genomes of compl...

description Recent advances in genomic and post-genomic technologies have now established the new standard in medical and biotechnological research.
