World-class halibut standard genome map completed in United States

The National Institute of Fisheries Science in South Korea has created the world's best standard genome map of flatfish, which distinctly separates the genetic information of male and female fish. This achievement, made in collaboration with Chungnam National University, has been registered with the National Center for Biotechnology Information and published in Scientific Data. The institute used the latest genome sequence analysis technology to create a standard genome map for both female and male Korean flatfish, surpassing the quality of the Chinese standard genome. This genome map will be used to improve flatfish breeds by discovering genetic mutations linked to desirable traits.

The National Institute of Fisheries Science has completed the world's best standard genome map of flatfish, which completely separates the genetic information of male and female flatfish. On the 20th, the National Institute of Fisheries Science announced that it recently registered the standard genome map of flatfish with the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in the United States and published it in Scientific Data, a world-renowned academic journal in the field of genome big data research. The National Institute of Fisheries Science has completed the standard genome map of flatfish, a representative domestic farmed fish species, in collaboration with the research team at Chungnam National University (Professors Kim Jun and Lee Seung-hwan). The map is a standard genome, a dictionary of genetic information representing a specific organism, containing both the genetic base sequence and the location information of each gene. Until now, global studies on flatfish ...
