It plans to sample a total of 10,000 fishes over 10 years in three phases. By sequencing their genomes with high quality, this project will provide a molecular basis for fish conservation, breeding, aquaculture, and evolution.
Up to now, Fish 10K has sampled a total of 324 fishes, of which 105 fishes have been sequenced and 10 high quality genomes of representative fishes have been released to the public.
The Fish 10K project will contribute significantly to the development of ichthyology and genomics.
The project was launched by Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with BGI-Qingdao, Northwestern Polytechnical University, CAS Institute of Oceanology, Uppsala University and Wuhan Frasergen Bioinformatics.
China has launched a project to construct a high-quality fish genome database and foster fish gene research, according to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The project aims to conduct the genome mapping of 10,000 species of fish living around the world and establish a larg...
Chinese scientists have sequenced the whole genome of 3,800-year-old wheat seeds unearthed from Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, decoding the food crop's spreading route into China. The research provided detailed information on the origin, dispersal and genetic improveme...
