First transcriptome sequencing, assembly, and annotation dataset for the freshwater angelfish, pterophyllum scalare

Cichlids are relevant to biological research for their craniofacial variations that are analogous to human structure and associated congenital anomalies. However, only a limited number of cichlids have genetic information available. Investigating cichlids and adding to the body of knowledge about them may provide better insights into studying developmental biology and craniofacial structure. The angelfish,
