The genetic code of a simple saltwater creature could help researchers learn more about how groups of genes function in humans and other species.
A study published this week in the journal Nature breaks down the genetic code of Trichoplax, a simple saltwater creature that one might find anywhere in the world, even in the common household aquarium.
”We’re trying to identify, in the Trichoplax, genes that are also found in other animals
