Info:
This paper presents the first hybrid genome assembly of Amphiprion ocellaris, the clown anemonefish. The team combined data from Illumina and Oxford Nanopore sequencing, reducing the number of scaffolds compared to a short-read-only assembly by 94%. BluePippin was used to select large DNA fragments for nanopore sequencing.
