The sea dragon (Phyllopetryx taeniolatus) lives on the coasts of western and southern Australia
An international research team led by the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (Guangzhou) and the Key Laboratory of Tropical Marine Biological Resources and Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has now discovered the genetic basis of certain external characteristics of the sea dragon, such as its lack of teeth and its unique leaves.
The research team also located sex determining genes in the sea dragon genome
Researchers from five teams in China, Singapore, Japan and Germany are studying the genetic basis of the sea dragon’s genome sequencing and other external characteristics, while focusing their research on the sea dragon’s sex determination, tooth loss, and new evolution.
Genomic analysis revealed that in the relatives of the hippocampus, there are also some genes missing, which contribute to the development of other fish and human teeth
Males take care of fertilized eggs.
The study of the genome aims to obtain the corresponding phenotype or "essence" of these animals
