US Geological Survey Offers Grant for Freshwater Mussel Genomics and Population Connectivity Research
SynopsisVersion HistoryRelated DocumentsPackage This grant, offered by the US Geological Survey to a CESU partner, is for developing genomics data to infer population connectivity in two freshwater mussel species of concern: the yellow lampmussel and tidewater mucket. The project aims to clarify relationships among similar species and assure correct identifications through phylogenomic analysis, utilizing genome skimming for mitochondrial and ribosomal DNA. Additionally, the research will determine genetic diversity and potential genetic [...]
