Broadcast in August 2020 Goldfish, a familiar ornamental fish, come in a variety of colors and shapes, and the variety of their fantastic appearances is astonishing. So why do goldfish have such a diverse range of appearances? The latest genetic research is trying to solve this mystery. In June 2019, a research group centered on Japanese researchers achieved the world's first complete genome sequence of a goldfish. It is said that about 70% of the genes of goldfish and humans are identical.

We will approach the mystery of the evolution of life revealed by the wonder of goldfish.
