Sea urchins have been a model for understanding how biological systems work for over a hundred yea.
"To be able to study the genetics of sea urchins, we need to find species with shorter reproductive cycles, or speed up the cycles of current model species," said Professor Shunsuke Hachiguchi, senior author of the stu.
The researchers identified Temnopleurus reevesii as a candidate species because it only takes 6 months to produce offspring, and at temperatures above 20°C, eggs and sperm can be collected year-round without interrupti.
The research team collected the draft genomes of the sea urchin and constructed two genome databases, TrBase and the Western Pacific Sea Urchin Genome Database (WestPac-SUGDB), which contains the genomes of the sea urchin and another model sea urchin, Hemicentrotus pulcherrim.
"We anticipate that these databases will contribute not only to sea urchin genetic research, but also to evolutionary research and comparative genomics," Professor Yaguchi sa.
The results of this study make it possible to use.
