About

Sharon Reikhav is a molecular biologist whose work has centered on advancing genomic research in aquatic species, particularly tilapia—a key species in global aquaculture. Her most cited contribution, "High-throughput genomic DNA extraction protocol from tilapia's fin tissue" (2006, 14 citations), provides a streamlined, non-invasive method for isolating high-quality DNA from fin tissue, enabling large-scale genetic studies without sacrificing fish. This protocol has been instrumental in supporting population genetics, selective breeding programs, and conservation efforts, offering a practical tool for researchers working with limited or valuable samples. While her citation count reflects a focused niche, the impact of her work lies in its methodological utility, facilitating efficient genomic analyses in fish biology. Reikhav's contribution exemplifies how precise, reproducible techniques can accelerate discovery in applied genetics, bridging the gap between laboratory innovation and real-world aquaculture challenges. Her protocol remains a cited resource for studies requiring rapid, cost-effective DNA extraction, underscoring her role in enabling sustainable fish management through molecular tools.
