Resumé
This project revolves around tardigrades (water bears) living in ocean sediments near Roscoff, France. These sediments are hotspots for tardigrades—micro-animals renowned for their extreme stress-tolerance. We will sequence genomes and transcriptomes from selected tardigrades and investigate their stress-tolerance, aiming to obtain a better understanding of their evolution and unique adaptations
