CrossFilt: A Cross-species Filtering Tool that Eliminates Alignment Bias in Comparative Genomics Studies
Comparative functional genomic studies are often affected by biased read mapping across species due to inter-species differences in genome structure, sequence composition, and annotation quality. We d...

3/3 Once the larvae have hatched they enter a 10-14 day pelagic phase where they need to feed like crazy on various types of zooplankton (copepods, rotifers and brine shrimps in the lab) before they return to the reef, or in our case the pot, to settle and metamorphose into a mini #nemo
