A Lungfish's Astonishing Genome | One Chromosome as Big as Ours!

In this video, we explore the fascinating world of genomes with a deep dive into the largest known animal genome, found in the South American lungfish. Learn how this ancient fish's genome is 30 times larger than a human's and what that means for its survival and evolution. Discover how this genome holds the key to understanding how organisms adapt to changing environments and why this lungfish might not hold the record for long. #genetics #lungfish #genomesequencing #evolution #biology #sciencenews #livingfossil References: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07830-1 https://www.livescience.com/health/genetics/largest-animal-genome-sequenced-and-just-1-chromosome-is-the-size-of-the-entire-human-genome
