Crean el primer mapa cromosómico que identifica cómo evolucionaron los animales en los últimos 600 millones de años

Scientists have created the first chromosomal map identifying how animals evolved over the last 600 million years. Despite extreme physical differences—such as those between a human, an octopus, and a coral—these organisms share fragments of the same genome inherited from a common ancestor that lived on Earth more than 600 million years ago.

The development of this map provides new insight into the deep evolutionary history and genetic continuity of animal life on Earth, tracing how foundational genetic material has been preserved and transformed across vastly diverse species over hundreds of millions of years.
