This study explored the origin of aquatic biodiversity through comparative genomics, and the researchers gained an in-depth understanding of the adaptive evolutionary mechanisms of species in different aquatic environments. They used genomic data to reveal the radiation adaptation of coral reef fish, the metabolic adaptability of deep-sea species, and the genomic diversity in polar ecosystems, thus providing new insights into the conservation of aquatic biodiversity. Comparative genomics can not only help understand the origin of aquatic species diversity, but also provide a scientific basis for the protection and management of fragile aquatic ecosystems, and provide a foundation for further development of genomic research on aquatic organisms, especially in understudied species and extreme environments.
