概要Overview
Medaka is a small freshwater fish with a relatively short life cycle (3 months) and small genome size (800 Mbp). Medaka can adapt to low temperatures (4℃) in the winter and high temperatures (40℃) in the summer, as well as to relatively high salinity environments. In addition to medaka, the NBRP also provides medaka-related species and hatching enzymes essential for embryonic manipulation, along with high quality genome sequence information and genome annotations.
