Hiodon alosoides (goldeye) genome, fHioAlo1, sequence data
The goldeye (Hiodon alosoides) is a freshwater fish found in Canada and the northern United States. It is one of only two extant species in the family Hiodontidae, the other species being Hiodon tergisus. This sample of an individual of unknown sex was found in Kansas, procured by Andrew Bentley of the KU Biodiversity Institute in Kansas and coordinated by Paul Hime of Washington University in St. Louis 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.
