An advanced assembly of the Atlantic bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) has been completed with the help of our very own Ocean Leader graduate, Marlem Rivera. This genome assembly, is being published to catalyze research on comparative genomics, provide structure for cataloging biodiversity, and ultimately support decisions around species conservation and management. This is a perfect example of our students transforming our world as scientific leaders. Read the full article and make sure to stay tuned for an upcoming video highlighting Ocean Discovery, Illumina and Marlem!
