Improving the Chromosome-Level Genome Assembly of the Siamese Fighting Fish () in a University Master's Course.

Ever decreasing costs along with advances in sequencing and library preparation technologies enable even small research groups to generate chromosome-level assemblies today. Here we report the generation of an improved chromosome-level assembly for the Siamese fighting fish () that was carried out during a practical university master's course. The Siamese fighting fish is a popular aquarium fish and an emerging model species for research on aggressive behavior.
