The First High-Quality Chromosome-Level Genome of the Lutjanus erythropterus (Bloch, 1790) Using Single-Tube Long Fragment Reads and Hi-C Technologies.

ABSTRACT: Lutjanus erythropterus (Bloch, 1790), a Perciformes from the Lutjanidae family, is a commercially important species because of its taste and abundance. Despite the increase in genome resources in recent years, few genome assemblies are available within this fish family for comparative and functional studies. In this study, we determined the chromosomal genome of Crimson snapper using high-throughput Single-Tube Long Fragment Reads sequencing technology and Hi-C data. The final assembly size was 973.04 Mb with contig and scaffold N50 values of 1.51 and 40.65 Mb, respectively. We successfully scaffolded 95.84% of the genome sequence onto 24 chromosomes ranging in length from 19.37 to 49.48 Mb. A total of 22,663 genes and 13,877 gene families were identified in the genome, with 29 gene famili
