| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Species vary their adaptability to novel environments. We investigated a relationship between the proportion of duplicated genes in animal genomes and their ecological features to predict adaptability of species based on genomic sequences. We sequenced a genome of invasive species Procambarus clarkii with high adaptability, and found that P. clarkii had the highest proportion of duplicated genes compared to other fully sequenced invertebrates.
