Improved high-quality reference genome of red drum facilitates the processes of resistance-related gene exploration and genetic assessment of environmental adaptation (PRJCA018756)
The red drum is one of the world's most important artificially introduced farmed fish species, occurring in 11 countries and regions. However, the high frequency of extreme weather events and breeding escapes puts enormous pressure on local marine biodiversity and ecosystems. A complete and accurate reference genome and annotation will provide a fundamental resource for functional genomics and genetic assessment of environmental adaptation.
