The genome of Austrofundulus limnaeus offers insights into extreme vertebrate stress tolerance and embryonic development

Abstract Background The annual killifish Austrofundulus limnaeus inhabits ephemeral ponds in northern Venezuela, South America, and is an emerging extremophile model for vertebrate diapause, stress tolerance, and evolution. Embryos of A. limnaeus regularly experience extended periods of desiccation...
