Salminus brasiliensis (golden dorado) genome, fSalBra1, sequence data

Salminus brasiliensis (golden dorado) is a large, predatory characiform freshwater fish found in central and east-central South America. Despite having Salminus in its name, it is not related to salmon species, nor to dorado saltwater fish. This sample was collected from an adult male in entrance of the Rio de la Plata, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, coordinated by Lisa Komoroske, and used to create at high-quality reference genome for the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP). Sequencing and genome assembly were conducted at the Vertebrate Genomes Lab (VGL) at the Rockefeller University, led by Olivier Fedrigo and Erich D. Jarvis, with funding support from Komoroske.

巴西萨尔敏脂鲤（Salminus brasiliensis，俗称金多拉多鱼）是一种体型庞大的掠食性脂鲤形目（Characiformes）淡水鱼类，自然分布于南美洲中部及中东部区域。尽管其学名中包含Salminus字样，但该物种与鲑科鱼类并无亲缘关系，亦与海生多拉多鱼类无关联。该样本由Lisa Komoroske协调采集自阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯市拉普拉塔河入海口处的一尾成年雄性个体，用于为脊椎动物基因组计划（Vertebrate Genomes Project, VGP）构建高质量参考基因组。测序及基因组组装工作由洛克菲勒大学脊椎动物基因组实验室（Vertebrate Genomes Lab, VGL）负责实施，由Olivier Fedrigo与Erich D. Jarvis牵头，并由Komoroske提供经费支持。
