Clown fish genome sequenced

[PiggyPuffin]

Academic researchers from Saudi Arabia and Australia just announced the very first reference genome for the clown fish, Amphiprion percula, using tech I developed

Neat! I wonder what role, if any, this will play into the progression of designer clownfish?

I looked and I looked, but @PiggyPuffin was not listed as an author of the paper. Seriously, what technology did you develop? Was it a genetic sequencing machine?

Congrats!

Please sequence a.leucokranos

I'm not an author. I work in the R&D department @ PacBio developing DNA sequencing technology.

Did you have anything to do with getting them to focus on Clown fish?

No. I wasn't aware they were doing this work. Came as a nice surprise.

Given how awesome it is to be a part of such research, I think we can let that slide
