Our preprint on the genome assembly of Doctor Fish (G. rufa)! G. rufa thrives above 37°C, making it a great model for cancer xenografts & infectious diseases. The assembly is a key resource for its development as a disease model. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Yasuhito SHIMADA (島田康人) Koto Kon-Nanjo, MD
