Conclusion
Fish have significant potential as model organisms in medical research, yet they are often overlooked in high-throughput molecular biology.
Supporting Evidence
- Fish comprise over half of all known vertebrates and are economically important.
- Many fish species are being promoted as model organisms in medical research.
- Fish can provide valuable insights into environmental monitoring and toxicology.
Takeaway
Fish are important for research because they can help us understand diseases and improve food production, but many species are not studied enough.
Limitations
The review highlights the lack of genomic research on many commercially important fish species.
