Whole genome sequencing of a snailfish from the Yap Trench (similar to 7,000 m) clarifies the molecular mechanisms underlying adaptation to the deep sea

Hadal environments (depths below 6,000 m) are characterized by extremely high hydrostatic pressures, low temperatures, a scarce food supply, and little light. The evolutionary adaptations that allow vertebrates to survive in this extreme environment are poorly understood. Here, we constructed a high...
