 note = {Here I briefly describe the characterization of the medaka (Oryzias latipes) genome. The size of the medaka genome was estimated to be 680-850 megabases by comparing the medaka genome with that of the pufferfish. This value corresponds to one-fourth to one-fifth of the entire human genome, probably due to short introns and short intergenic regions. However the size distribution of medaka introns so far examined appears similar to that of human introns. The location of the introns is conservative between human and medaka. Moreover some important cis-elements and trans-acting factors functioning in the promoters of medaka genes also seem to be conservative between the two species. This allows medaka to be a suitable model for genomic analysis as a miniature vertebrate.},
