Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual Danionella dracula (the Dracula fish; Chordata; Actinopterygii; Cypriniformes; Danionidae; Danioninae). The genome sequence is 665.21 megabases in span. This is a scaffold-level assembly, with a scaffold N50 of 10.29 Mb.

Keywords: Cypriniformes; Danionella dracula; Dracula fish; genome sequence; scaffold-level.
