As genomic technologies advance, the integration of high-resolution sequencing and cytogenetic mapping will further refine our understanding of chromosomal evolution and the mechanisms driving genome organization. Future research should focus on improving alignment methodologies and developing robust algorithms for analyzing noncoding sequences to overcome current limitations in phylogenomic studies. Additionally, the continued exploration of genome duplication events and their evolutionary consequences will provide deeper insights into the adaptive potential of fish species. By standardizing comparative genomic approaches across diverse taxa, researchers can better understand the ecological and evolutionary determinants of genetic connectivity and inform conservation and management policies. In summary, comparative genomics offers a powerful toolset for unraveling the complexities of fish evolution, providing a comprehensive understanding of the genetic and genomic underpinnings of biodiversity. The ongoing integration of genomic data with ecological, morphological, and behavioral studies will pave the way for new discoveries and applications in evolutionary biology.
