Key Findings
- The study focused on threespine stickleback fish from the Pacific Ocean to understand genetic adaptation
- Researchers used advanced techniques to map DNA regions that control gene activity
- They found that specific DNA modifications can identify regulatory elements responsible for gene expression differences
