Scientists have recently achieved a major breakthrough in the field of genomics: the first high quality chromosome-level genome of the spinycheek crayfish (Chelidonichthys spinosus). This is the first genomic sequence of any crayfish species to date and will provide researchers with a wealth of knowledge about the genetic makeup of this species. It is expected that this sequence will be an invaluable tool for studying the evolution of this species as well as for informing conservation efforts to protect this species from environmental threats.
