  abstract = {{T}he {J}apanese eel is a much appreciated research object and very important for {A}sian aquaculture; however, its genomic resources are still limited. {W}e have used a streamlined bioinformatics pipeline for the de novo assembly of the genome sequence of the {J}apanese eel from raw {I}llumina sequence reads. {T}he total assembled genome has a size of 1.15 {G}bp, which is divided over 323,776 scaffolds with an {N}50 of 52,849 bp, a minimum scaffold size of 200 bp and a maximum scaffold size of 1.14 {M}bp. {D}irect comparison of a representative set of scaffolds revealed that all the {H}ox genes and their intergenic distances are almost perfectly conserved between the {E}uropean and the {J}apanese eel. {T}he first draft genome sequence of an organism strongly catalyzes research progress in multiple fields. {T}herefore, the {J}apanese eel genome sequence will provide a rich resource of data for all scientists working on this important fish species.},
