Phylogenomics and biodiversity of Serpulidae (Annelida: Polychaeta) in China Seas
This project aims to characterize the mitochondrial genomes and nuclear markers (18S, 28S, etc.) of serpulid worms collected from the China Seas. The goal is to resolve phylogenetic relationships, assess cryptic diversity within genera like Serpula and Spirobranchus, and provide genomic resources for future studies.
