Chromosome-level genome assembly of the spotted sea bass, Lateolabrax maculatus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The spotted sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus) is a valuable commercial fish that is widely cultured in China. While analyses using molecular markers and population genetics have been conducted, genomic resources are lacking.

Findings

Here, we report a chromosome-scale assembly of the spotted sea bass genome by high-depth genome sequencing, assembly, and annotation. The genome scale was 0.67 Gb with contig and scaffold N50 length of 31 Kb and 1,040 Kb, respectively. Hi-C scaffolding of the genome resulted in 24 pseudochromosomes containing 77.68% of the total assembled sequences. A total of 132.38 Mb repeat sequences were detected, accounting for 20.73% of the assembled genome. A total of 22, 015 protein-coding genes were predicted, of which 96.52% were homologous t
