First Ever Whole Genome Sequencing and De Novo Assembly of the Freshwater Angelfish, .

This research work is the first to ever sequence and perform a de novo assembly of the genome of the freshwater angelfish, . The final genome assembly consisted of 15,486 contigs and was 734.79 Mb in size with an 86.5% BUSCO score. Functional annotation of the genome revealed 24,247 protein-coding sequences related to other fish species. 14,329 (59%) of the identified genes were orthologous to , a closely related South American cichlid.
