The draft genome of Labeo catla.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Labeo catla (catla), one of the three Indian major carps, is native to the Indo-Gangetic riverine system of India as well as the rivers of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Myanmar. Its higher growth rate and compatibility with other major carps, specific surface feeding habit, and consumer preference have increased its popularity in carp polyculture systems among the fish farmers in Indian subcontinent. Recent advancement in sequencing technology coupled with massive parallel sequencing platforms has facilitated accelerated genetic improvement in aquaculture species through integration of genomics tools. A draft genome and allied resources are lacking in catla. Therefore, in the present study, we have performed de-novo assembly of Labeo catla for the first time.
