Genome sequences were assembled separately for one adult male and female walleye (Sander vitreus) as a reference for population genomic studies and to evaluate the genetic determinants of sex in this
The Walleye (Sander vitreus) is a member of Percidae endemic to Canada and the northern US. It is a close relative of pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) a European species.
This is a first draft reference genome for walleye (Sander vitreus). A walleye individual collected from Black Warrior River (AL, USA) was sequenced in HiSeq 2500 run with 125-bp paired-end reads.
