Researchers sequenced the genome of the Western Spadefoot toad, a key species to study how organisms respond to global change

Western Spadefoot toad has a great capacity to adjust its behaviour, morphology and physiology to environmental changes. Its genome sequencing will help to understand how environmental variations can induce changes at the gene expression level.
This work was led by the Doñana Biological Station – CSIC with the collaboration of the Centro Nacional de Análisis Genómico (CNAG-CRG) and the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre (BSC-CNS)
