This video shows a 30-minute summary of the school's scientific research on the genome of Testal's commercial bivalves as a methodology to study genetic varieties in their adaptation to global change and as a resource of conservation. This research was developed in the laboratory of the IES Virxe do Marr, on March 3, and was conducted by Dr. Carracedo, director of the Galician Public Foundation of Genomics Medicine and the National Genotyping Center. The Climántica project, thus, takes a step further in the application of the Climántica methodology which is being transferred to EduCO2cean-Erasmus +.
The analysis consisted on the isolation, purification, quantification and deliver of the DNA of the common cockle and three commercial clams of Testal, to a world center for the conservation of the genome. Thus, through the use of technologies and methods of the National Center of Genotyping, it was completed a research which had started the previous day in Testal in order to study, with rigorous methods of Ecology, the status of the presence and abundance of different bivalve species of Testal, as well as their distribution.
