Comparative genomics revealed drastic gene difference in two small Chinese perches, Siniperca undulata and S. obscura.

ABSTRACT: Siniperca undulata and S. obscura (Centrarchiformes: Sinipercidae) are small Chinese perches, living in creeks and streams in southern China. While they have sympatric distribution and occupy similar macrohabitat, their body sizes and ecological niches have many differences. Determining the genome sequences of S. undulata and S. obscura would provide us an essential data set for better understanding their genetic makeup and differences that may play important roles in their adaptation to different niches. We determined the genome sequences of both S. undulata and S. obscura using 10× genomics technology and the next-generation sequencing. The assembled genomes of S. undulata and S. obscura were 744 and 733 Mb, respectively. Gene family analysis revealed that there were no overlap between S
