Chinese scientists assemble genome of endangered carp species to aid conservation efforts.

Chinese scientists have assembled the first high-quality, chromosomal-level genome of the critically endangered Ochetobius elongatus, a rare carp species from the Yangtze River. Led by Professor Lu Jianguo, the research provides crucial genetic information for understanding the species' diversity and unique adaptations, aiding conservation efforts. Future work will focus on artificial breeding to ensure the species' sustainability.
