What species is Xipophorus_maculatus?

Open Asutu opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Just to clarify, what species is denominated by "Xipophorus_maculatus"? I would thought it would be the platyfish (Xiphophorus maculatus), with a typo in the name, but then the commit for this species states:

Swordfish parameters provided by John Blazier

so I'm a bit uncertain what to take from here.

Also, for using Augustus in a new fish genome, would it better to use the training from "Xipophorus_maculatus" or "zebrafish"?

Thanks, Pedro

How close is your fish to zebrafish? Phylogenetically?
