The Northern pike genome is now available in GenBank. This genome is the closest “non genome duplicated" ancestor to 68 species genome duplicated salmonids within Protacanthopterygi. It belongs to a basal Euteleost branch. The Assembly is at the chromosomes
level
ASM72191v2 and is one of the
better fish genome sequences. It will provide an important reference point for assembly and characterization of upcoming Salmon, Char, trout, whitefish genomes
