A team of deep-sea and environmental scientists affiliated with multiple institutions in China has learned more about how some sea anemones are able to live near deep-sea hydrothermal vents by studying the genes of one species: Alvinactis idsseensis sp. nov. In their research, reported in the journal Science Advances, the group conducted a genomic analysis of the creature and explored its ability to withstand the harsh conditions surrounding deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
