Genome size evolution in pufferfish: an insight from BAC clone-based <it>Diodon holocanthus </it>genome sequencing

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Variations in genome size within and between species have been observed since the 1950 s in diverse taxonomic groups. Serving as model organisms, smooth pufferfish possess the smallest vertebrate genomes. Interestingly, spiny pufferf...
