Animal sample from Pantodon buchholzi (African butterflyfish) for VGP reference genome, fPanBuc1
Pantodon buchholzi
The African butterflyfish (Pantodon buchholzi) is a species of osteoglossiform fish native to freshwater habitats in the Niger and Congo basins of Western and Central Africa. It is the only extant species in the family Pantodontidae. Despite the name, it is not closely related to saltwater butterflyfishes (from Wikipediaa entry). This sample of a male individual purchased from the pet trade was procured by Ingo Braasch of Michigan State University 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. Manual curation was done by Genoscope in France.
