# The genome sequence of the John Dory, Zeus faber Linnaeus, 1758

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the John Dory, a fish species, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The paper provides the first genome assembly for the John Dory, including 22 chromosomal pseudomolecules and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 804.7 megabases.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.72 kilobases in length.
- Most of the genome is scaffolded into 22 chromosomal pseudomolecules.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual
Zeus faber (the John Dory; Chordata; Actinopteri; Zeiformes; Zeidae). The genome sequence is 804.7 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 22 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.72 kilobases in length.
