The Complete Genome Sequences of 20 Species of African Tetras and Relatives of Families Alestidae, Hepsetidae, and Lepidarchidae (Teleostei: Characiformes).

Abstract

We present the complete genome sequences of 20 species of African tetras, robbers, and tigerfishes in the families Alestidae, Hepsetidae, and Lepidarchidae. Illumina sequencing was performed on genetic material from wild-caught and aquarium specimens. The reads were assembled using a de novo method followed by a finishing step. The raw and assembled data are publicly available via GenBank.
