Eretmochelys imbricata, a critically endangered sea turtle inhabiting tropical oceans and protected across the world, had an unknown genome sequence until now. In this study, we used HiFi reads and Hi-C technology to assemble a high-quality, chromosome-level genome of E. imbricata. The genome size was 2,138.26 Mb, with contig N50 length of 123.49 Mb and scaffold N50 of 137.21 Mb. Approximately 97.52% of the genome sequence was anchored to 28 chromosomes. A total of 20,206 protein-coding genes we ...[more]
