A UVic molecular biologist has gained new insights into how environmental contaminants may disrupt thyroid systems. The discovery was made while assembling the genome of the North
American bullfrog.
A University of Victoria molecular biologist has new insights on how environmental contaminants may disrupt thyroid systems, discovered while assembling the genome of the North
American bullfrog.
In an article published today in the prestigious journal Nature, an international team of scientists co-led by University of Victoria biologist Ben Koop describes how the Atlantic
salmon genome—that’s the complete set of its genes—has made a full backup copy of itself.
Salmon possess an unusual genetic feature that’s of great interest to evolutionary scientists and fisheries managers alike, as described in a UVic research article published in
Nature.
