Balaenoptera acutorostrata scammoni Genome sequencing

To provide a full genome sequence of the most abundant whale species in the world. It will provide a genetic diversity of the species and will help us understand how whales adapt to environmental stresses. Also, as whales are long-living, the genome comparisons may provide clues to their longevity....

Description
Summary:To provide a full genome sequence of the most abundant whale species in the world. It will provide a genetic diversity of the species and will help us understand how whales adapt to environmental stresses. Also, as whales are long-living, the genome comparisons may provide clues to their longevity. Finally, this study will help us figure out the evolution and phylogeny of whale.
