5 days!

I have 5 days into the funding campaign! More than 2000$ left, but I'm confident that my challenge will be exceeded.

If you have friends who may have interest for deep-sea animal and their biology, please let them know about my project. Your funding must reveal hidden biodiversity in deep sea ecology and I am confident that it may provide key to resolve problems such as global warming etc...

Your support is greatly appreciated!

About This Project

JP / EN

The deep sea brittle star or Asteronyx loveni collections at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in Paris and the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm have never been sequenced. The museum specimens were collected from the South-Pacific Ocean/Antarctic Ocean and Atlantic/North Sea. I will go to Europe to collect samples to sequence the mitochondrial COI DNA region of up to 100 specimens. The mitochondrial COI DNA region may reveal new species of deep sea brittle star.

Blast off!
