The University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) and the National Centre for Genomic Analysis (CNAG) have found a tool that so far seemed like science fiction: to read the genome of the anisakis as if it were a road book, with kilometre poles capable of revealing how it moves and adapts to global warming. The research, led from the Lugo campus, has identified millions of these markers SNPs—single nucleotide polymorphisms—and has reduced its use to…
