Abstract:
We present a genome assembly from a specimen of Danio rerio (zebra danio; Chordata; Actinopteri; Cypriniformes; Danionidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1 413.66 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.85%) is scaffolded into 25 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome was also assembled, with a length of 16.6 kilobases.
