title: Animal sample from Datnioides polota (four-banded tigerfish) for VGP reference genome, fDatPol1
organism: Datnioides polota
description: The four-banded tigerfish (Datnioides polota) is a species of ray-finned fish belonging to the family Lobotidae, the tripletails and tiger perches. This fish is found in southern Asia and New Guinea (from Wikipedia entry). This sample of a male individual was procured by Thomas Near and Gregory Watkins-Colwell and used to generate a high-quality reference genome for the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP). Sequencing and genome assembly were conducted at the Vertebrate Genome Lab (VGL) at the Rockefeller University, led by Erich D. Jarvis, Giulio Formenti, and Jennifer Balacco.
