A draft genome assembly of the Chinese sillago (<i>Sillago sinica</i>), the first reference genome for Sillaginidae fishes

Abstract

Using long reads generated with PacBio sequencing technology, we have built a draft genome assembly for the Chinese sillago, which is the first reference genome for Sillaginidae species. This genome assembly sets a stage for comparative analysis of the diversification and adaptation of fishes in Sillaginidae.
