The first paper derived from the project provides the scientific and biomedical rationale for exploring the olm genome and outlines potential outcomes, challenges, and methodological approaches required to analyze and annotate one of the largest tetrapod genome. Paper entitled "Toward the massive genome of Proteus anguinus—illuminating longevity, regeneration, convergent evolution,…
A three-year research project entitled "Genomic and transcriptomic insights into the exceptional biology of proteus (Proteus anguinus)" has been granted to one of the PGP coordinators, dr. Rok Kostanjšek, by the Slovenian Research Agency. The project will further support our efforts to better understand the biology of proteus by deciphering…
