Improving mammalian genome scaffolding using large insert mate-pair next-generation sequencing.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) belongs to a large teleost family containing more than 600 species showing several unique evolutionary traits such as lack of stomach and hermaphroditism. Agastric fish are found throughout the teleost phylogeny, in quite diverse and unrelated lineages, indicating stomach ...
