PeerJ Author

Summary

Josefina Méndez is Full Professor of Genetics at the University of A Coruña (Spain). Expert in genetics of bivalve molluscs as resources of great socioeconomic interest. His line of research focuses on the analysis of genetic variation and population structure, in order to improve the stocks in operation. These analyzes are performed using molecular markers (nuclear and mitochondrial).
