The Genome 10K project aims to sequence the genomes of 10,000 vertebrates, 
representing approximately one genome for each vertebrate genus. Since fishes 
(cartilaginous fishes, ray-finned fishes and lobe-finned fishes) represent more 
than 50% of extant vertebrates, it is planned to target 4,000 fish genomes. At 
present, nearly 60 fish genomes are being sequenced at various public funded 
labs, and under a Genome 10K and BGI pilot project. An additional 100 fishes 
have been identified for sequencing in the next phase of Genome 10K project.
