Genome mapping in aquatic animals: progress and future perspectives

摘要

The genome of aquatic animals is poorly understood and information from different taxonomic groups is sketchy. While there are intensive genomic studies on some fish models, investigations on other fishes and invertebrates are scarce. Recently somecoordinated studies on genome mapping in a number of aquaculture animals of economic importance are performed. This review summarizes the information available on genome mapping of the important fish models and aquaculture animals. The future perspectives of this field of studies are discussed.
