Studying neuronal circuits at cellular resolution is very challenging in vertebrates due to the size and optical turbidity of their brains. Danionella translucida, a close relative of zebrafish, was recently introduced as a model organism for investigating neural network interactions in adult individuals. Danionella remains transparent throughout its life, has the smallest known vertebrate brain and possesses a rich repertoire of complex behaviours. Here we sequenced, assembled and annotated the Danionella translucida genome employing a hybrid Illumina/Nanopore read library as well as RNA-seq of embryonic, larval and adult mRNA. We achieved high assembly continuity using low-coverage long-read data and annotated a large fraction of the transcriptome. This dataset will pave the way for molecular research and targeted genetic manipulation of this novel model organism.

View all literature mentionsSoftware genome annotation pipeline. Portable and easily configurable genome annotation pipeline. Used to allow smaller eukaryotic and prokaryotic genomeprojects to independently annotate their genomes and to create genome databases. MAKER identifies repeats, aligns ESTs and proteins to genome, produces ab-initio gene predictions and automatically synthesizes these data into gene annotations having evidence based quality values.

View all literature mentionsSoftware tool to automatically improve draft assemblies and find variation among strains, including large event detection. FASTA files of genome along with one or more BAM files of reads aligned as input. Read alignment analysis is used to identify inconsistencies between input genome and evidence in reads, then attempts to make improvements to genome.
