USGS, Southern Illinois University researchers advance genome mapping for critically-endangered sturgeon
USGS, Southern Illinois University researchers advance genome mapping Release Date: April 7, 2021 This scientific advancement can lead to the development of new genetic markers that will help scientists distinguish between pallid sturgeon and the shovelnose sturgeon, another sturgeon species that looks similar but is more common. In a genetics breakthrough that may help detect and conserve one of North America’s most endangered fish species, researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey’s Columbia Environmental Research Center and Southern Illinois University Carbondale recently produced ...
