Overview
DNA markers using a huge amount of data produced by a Next Generation Sequencing platform IonTorrent PGM will be newly developped to evaluate genetic diversity of aquatic organisms inhabiting Tohoku area. Based on the spatial and temporal sampling collection, the genetic diversity and its dynamics before and after the impact will be investigated. The species of interest are Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae, Onchoryncus keta, seaweed, and invertebrate animals.
