Denovo sequencing of Silver pomfret (Pampus argenteus)

Silver pomfret (Pampus argenteus) is one of the most desired fish with a high economic value in Iran, Iraq and Kuwait. The study has been focused on whole-genome shotgun sequencing of Silver pomfret using Illumina Hiseq 2000 sequencing platform. A 100 bp paired-end run was performed with genomic DNA samples. The high-throughput sequence data obtained in this study would enable researchers to apply various tools to generate useful data for various type of genetic studies.
