[BiO BB] Fish genomics

[kannaiah at bsd.uchicago.edu]

Hi Nagesh,
I know when i did some comparative work in eukaryotes, i used buth fugu and
danio in my studies.
Tetraodon and Fugu the 2 types of pufferfish, were sequenced due to their small
genomes. And they are also one of the smallest known vertebrates. Follow these
links:

I know that zebra fish is used quite a lot in various biological studies and
hence was a popular candidate for sequencing. Follow this link and you will get
a better idea as to why...
