Investigation of historical gene flow between Korean Cobitids
(2022-2024)
(2022-2024)
Construct reference genome sequences of Korean endemic spined loaches.
Confirm the gene flow from the past to the present between the Cobitis hankugensis and Iksookimia longicorpa.
Measure statistical variables such as divergence period, population size, and migration rate of the three Korean loaches.
