The whole chromosome-level genome provides resources and insights into the endangered fish Percocypris pingi evolution and conservation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Percocypris pingi (Tchang) was classified as Endangered on the Red List of China's Vertebrates in 2015 and is widely distributed in the Upper Yangtze River. Although breeding and release into wild habitats have been performed for this commercially important fish in recent years, low genetic diversity has been found in wild populations. Genomic resources are strongly recommended before formulating and carrying out conservation strategies for P. pingi. Thus, there is an urgent need to conserve germplasm resources and improve the population diversity of P. pingi. To date, the whole genome of P. pingi has not been reported.

Results

In our study, we constructed the first chromosome-level genome of P. pingi by high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) techn
