Whole genome sequencing of 160 marine fish for the FORESEA project, 2022

Genetic diversity is often considered a key factor in a species’ ability to adapt to environmental changes and our aim was to understand the biological, ecological, and biogeographic factors that explain differences in genetic diversity among marine fish. Therefore, whole genomes of 160 individual marine fish were sequenced to a minimum depth of 15×, enabling near-complete representation of each diploid genome.
