My genome helps scientists compare fishes with you—like finding matching instructions in very different building kits!
我的基因组帮助科学家把鱼和你比较——像在很不一样的积木盒里，找到相似的说明书！

Research context
Gar genomes and anatomy provide a bridge for comparing teleost fishes with tetrapods. Their lineage helps researchers recognize genomic changes that occurred before and after major fish genome duplications.
