Do you understand and agree to our policy of having open and named reviews, and having your review included with the published papers. (If no, please inform the editor that you cannot review this manuscript.)	Yes
Is the language of sufficient quality?	Yes
Please add additional comments on language quality to clarify if needed
Are all data available and do they match the descriptions in the paper?	Yes
Additional Comments	I selected "yes" to the question "Are all data available and do they match the descriptions in the paper?" as the genome, annotation, transcriptome etc are currently available through the author's institutional/consortium AWS link. However, so far as I can tell the BioProject number they provide is not yet public. This would contain the same data, but a release in the public repository is a more secure way ensure data is permanently accessible to the community.
Are the data and metadata consistent with relevant minimum information or reporting standards? See GigaDB checklists for examples <a href="http://gigadb.org/site/guide" target="_blank">http://gigadb.org/site/guide</a>	Yes
Additional Comments
Is the data acquisition clear, complete and methodologically sound?	Yes
Additional Comments
Is there sufficient detail in the methods and data-processing steps to allow reproduction?	No
Additional Comments	I have requested in my comments for a few program version numbers, parameters, sequence accession numbers to be included and suggested a few points of clarification on the methods. This should be very straightforward for the authors to address.
Is there sufficient data validation and statistical analyses of data quality?	Yes
Additional Comments
Is the validation suitable for this type of data?	Yes
Additional Comments
Is there sufficient information for others to reuse this dataset or integrate it with other data?	Yes
Additional Comments
Any Additional Overall Comments to the Author
