Tetraodon nigroviridis (spotted green pufferfish) freshwater pufferfish with highly compact vertebrate genome Lineage: Eukaryota[15558]; Metazoa[7784]; Chordata[3583]; Craniata[3548]; Vertebrata[3548]; Euteleostomi[3503]; Actinopterygii[1304]; Neopterygii[1295]; Teleostei[1292]; Neoteleostei[923]; Acanthomorphata[917]; Eupercaria[283]; Tetraodontiformes[11]; Tetradontoidea[8]; Tetraodontidae[8]; Tetraodon[1]; Tetraodon nigroviridis[1]

The fish Tetraodon nigroviridis lives in the rivers and estuaries of Indonesia, Malaysia and India. The gene assemblage of the spotted green pufferfish genome is very similar to that of other vertebrates, including mammals such as humans and mice. For geneticists interested in studying genes, fishes of the Tetraodontiform family have a huge advantage More...over mammals; their gene assemblage is contained within approximately 8 times less DNA because of the very low content of repetitive DNA.
