Draft sequencing and assembly of the genome of the world’s largest fish, the whale shark: Rhincodon typus Smith 1828

2015-02-14

Abstract excerpt

The whale shark (Rhincodon typus) has by far the largest body size of any elasmobranch (shark or ray) species and is therefore also the largest extant species of the paraphyletic assemblage commonly referred to as “fishes”. As both a phenotypic extreme and a member of the group basal to the remaining gnathostomes, which includes all tetrapods and therefore also humans, its genome is of substantial comparative inte...
