Collaborative Research: RUI: Pressure Adaptation, Stress, and Convergent Evolution in Fish — NSF Award to SUNY College at Geneseo
High pressures are one of the most recognizable features of the largest habitat on Earth, the deep oceans. Pressures in the deep sea reach up to 1100 times atmospheric pressure, influencing life across scales, from genetic code to whole ecosystems. This research will use cross-disciplinary techniques in genomics, chemi

| Abstract | High pressures are one of the most recognizable features of the largest habitat on Earth, the deep oceans. Pressures in the deep sea reach up to 1100 times atmospheric pressure, influencing life across scales, from genetic code to whole ecosystems. This research will use cross-disciplinary techniques in genomics, chemistry, biophysics, and physiology to understand how fishes are adapted high pressures. By comparing the genetic code and protein structures of fishes that live from surface waters t |
