Recently, the research team led by Dr. Shunping He from the Institute of Deep Sea Science and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, published their research findings in the online version of Science China Life Sciences.
They reported the first high-quality genome of a deep-sea eel (Ilyophis brunneus), which sheds light on the molecular mechanisms of deep-sea adaptation. The deep-sea eel sample was obtained by China’s manned submersible, “Shen Hai Yong Shi,” at a depth of 3,500 meters in the Mariana Trench. The researchers identified the eel as a muddy arrowtooth eel (MAE) through morphological observation and mitochondrial barcoding analysis.
