<p><strong>The genome of a sea cucumber, collected at a depth of 2400 m during a submarine trip to a hydrothermal vent, sheds light on genetic features that help marine animals to survive in extreme conditions. </strong>Hydrothermal vents are an unlikely environment for animals to flourish, characterized by rapid changes in temperature and a challenging chemistry: acidic pH, rich in sulfur and methane. Not to mention the high hydrostatic pressure and the darkness of the deep sea. A team of scientists at the Sanya Institute of Deep-sea Science and Engineering (China) now sequenced the full genome of a particularly unusual habitant of the hydrothermal vent environment: the sea cucumber <em>Chiridota heheva</em>. The research has been published in the Open Science journal <em>GigaScience.</em></p>
