Chelmon rostratus genome sequence

Chelmon rostratus (Teleostei, Perciformes, Chaetodontidae) is a copperband butterflyfish, living in tropical areas. Just as other coral reef fish, it can be cultivated as an ornamental fish, thus providing genome information for this species might help understanding the genome evolution of Chaetodontidae (without previous genomes available) and adaptation/evolution of coral reef fish.As the first genome for Chaetodontidae family, the genome sequence of Chelmon rostratus increases our understanding of genome content of Chaetodontidae. The information of these data helpfully to improve the essential to the further understanding and exploration of marine ecological environment symbiosis with coral and the genomic innovations and molecular mechanisms contributing to its unique morphology and physiological features.
