Whole genome shotgun data analysis of closely related species of medaka
The goal of this study was to construct and obtain DNA sequences of genes orthologous to genes in medaka (O.latipes) from whole genome shotgun data of two closely related species, Hainan medaka (O.curvinotus) and Luzon medaka (O.luzonensis). For this purpose, we extracted genomic DNAs from Hainan and Luzon medaka muscles, generated and sequenced Illumina short-read libraries, and finally obtained their whole genome shotgun data.
