Whole genome shotgun sequencing, transciptome sequencing and genome sequencing of the grass carp

Grass carp is a species of the Cyprinidae family, which is one of most important freshwater food fishes and has great commercial value in the world. In present study, we report a 0.9-Gb draft genome of a gynogenetic female and a 1.07-Gb genome of a wild male adult.Genome annotation identified 32,811 protein-coding gene models. Transcriptome study illuminates resetting of circadian phase in gut and activation of mevalonate pathway and steroid biosynthesis in liver occur during the period of food habit transition from carnivorous to herbivorous.
