In a scientific pursuit there is continual food for discovery and
wonder. M. Shelley (1818) Genomic analysis of aquatic species has
long been overshadowed by the superb activity of the human genome
project. However, aquatic genomics is now in the limelight as
evidenced by the recent accomplishment of fugu genome sequencing,
which provided a significant foundation for comparative fish
genomics. Undoubt edly, such progress will provide an exciting and
unparalleled boost to our knowl edge of the genetics of aquatic
species. Thus, aquatic genomics research has become a promising new
research field with an impact on the fishery industry. It is
notewor thy that the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the
United Nations has projected that current global fisheries
production will soon become insufficient to supply the increasing
world population and that aquaculture has a great potential to
fulfill that demand. This book, Aquatic Genomic. ~: Steps Toward a
Great Future, was designed as a collection of advanced knowledge in
aquatic genomics and biological sciences. It covers a variety of
aquatic organisms including fish, crustaceans, and shellfish, and
describes various advanced methodologies, including genome
analysis, gene map ping, DNA markers, and EST analysis. Also
included are discussions of many sub jects such as regulation of
gene expression, stress and immune responses, sex differ entiation,
hormonal control, and transgenic fishes.
The recent progress achieved in aquatic genomics research has important implications in science and aquaculture. Researchers' success in genome sequencing of the fugu has provided a foundation not only for comparative fish genomics but also for genetic studies of other vertebrates. This volume, with contributions by leading scientists from around the world, provides the latest information on genomic studies of a variety of aquatic organisms including fish, crustaceans, and shellfish, with descriptions of such methodologies as genome analysis, gene mapping, DNA markers, and EST analysis. Other topics include regulation of gene expression, stress and immune responses, sex differentiation, hormonal control, and transgenic fish. This book is a valuable resource for all scientists whose work involves aquatic organisms, especially for those in the fields of aquatic genomics, fish immunology, and aquatic biotechnology.
