Project description:Nibea coibor belongs to Sciaenidae and is distributed in the South China Sea, East China Sea, India and the Philippines. In this study, we sequenced the DNA of a male Nibea coibor using PacBio long-read sequencing and generated chromatin interaction data. The genome size of Nibea coibor was estimated to be 611.85~633.88 Mb based on k-mer counts generated with Jellyfish. PacBio sequencing produced 29.26 Gb of HiFi reads, and Hifiasm was used to assemble a 627.60 Mb genome with a contig N50 of 10.66 Mb. We further found the canonical telomeric repeats "TTAGGG" to be present at the telomeres of all 24 chromosomes. The completeness of the assembly was estimated to be 98.9% and 97.8% using BUSCO and Merqury, respectively. Using the combination of ab initio prediction, protein homology and RNAseq annotation, we identified a total of 21,433 protein-coding genes. Phylogenetic analyses showed that Nibea coibor and Nibea albiflora are closely related. The results provide an important basis for research on the genetic breeding and genome evolution of Nibea coibor.

Project description:Fragaria pentaphylla, a wild diploid quinquefoliolate species of Fragaria, is native to Southwest China. It has two morphs of red and white fruit color in nature and has characteristics of unique fragrance and resistance, which made it not only a valuable breeding material but also a potential model plant for molecular function researches. Here, we generate a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of a F. pentaphylla accession, BAAFS-FP039 employing a combination of PacBio Long-Read Sequencing, Illumina Short-Read Sequencing, and Hi-C Sequencing. The assembled genome contained 256.74 Mb and a contig N50 length of 32.38 Mb, accounting for 99.9% of the estimated genome (256.77 Mb). Based on Hi-C data, seven pseudo-chromosomes of F. pentaphylla-FP039 genome were assembled, covering 99.39% of the genome assembly. The genome was composed of 44.61% repetitive sequences and 29,623 protein-coding genes, 97.62% of protein-coding genes could be functionally annotated. Phylogenetic and chromosome syntenic analysis revealed that F. pentaphylla-FP039 was closely related to F. nubicola. This high-quality genome could provides fundamental molecular resources for evolutionary studies, breeding efforts, and exploring the unique biological characteristics of F. pentaphylla.

Project description:The largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) has become a cosmopolitan species due to its widespread introduction as game or domesticated fish. Here a high-quality chromosome-level reference genome of M. salmoides was produced by combining Illumina paired-end sequencing, PacBio single molecule sequencing technique (SMRT) and High-through chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) technologies. Ultimately, the genome was assembled into 844.88 Mb with a contig N50 of 15.68 Mb and scaffold N50 length of 35.77 Mb. About 99.9% assembly genome sequences (844.00 Mb) could be anchored to 23 chromosomes, and 98.03% assembly genome sequences could be ordered and directed. The genome contained 38.19% repeat sequences and 2693 noncoding RNAs. A total of 26,370 protein-coding genes from 3415 gene families were predicted, of which 97.69% were functionally annotated. The high-quality genome assembly will be a fundamental resource to study and understand how M. salmoides adapt to novel and changing environments around the world, and also be expected to contribute to the genetic breeding and other research.

Project description:The humpback grouper (Cromileptes altivelis), a medium-sized coral reef teleost, is a naturally rare species distributed in the tropical waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. It has high market value, but artificial reproduction and breeding remain limited and need to be improved. Here, we assembled the genome with 1.08 Gb, with a contig N50 of 43.78 Mb. A total of 96.59% of the assembly anchored to 24 pseudochromosomes using Hi-C technology. It contained 24,442 protein-coding sequences, of which 99.3% were functionally annotated. The completeness of the assembly was estimated to be 97.3% using BUSCO. The phylogenomic analysis suggested that humpback grouper should be classified into the genus Epinephelus rather than Cromileptes. The comparative genomic analysis revealed that the gene families related to circadian entrainment were significantly expanded. The high-quality reference genome provides useful genomic tools for exploiting the genomic resource of humpback grouper and supports the functional genomic study of this species in the future.

Project description:Takifugu species serve as a model system for evolutionary studies due to their compact genomes and diverse phenotypes. The ocellated puffer (Takifugu ocellatus), characterized by special colouration, is a scarce anadromous species in the genus Takifugu. As an ornamental and tasty fish species, T. ocellatus has moderate economic value. However, the available genomic resources for this pufferfish are still limited. Here, a chromosome-level reference genome, as well as two haploid genomes, was constructed by PacBio HiFi long sequencing and Hi-C technologies. The total length of the reference genome was 375.62 Mb with a contig N50 of 11.55 Mb. The assembled sequences were anchored to 22 chromosomes with an integration efficiency of 93.78%. Furthermore, 28,808 protein-coding genes were predicted. The haplotype-resolved reference genome of T. ocellatus provides a crucial resource for investigating the explosive speciation of the Takifugu genus, such as elucidating evolutionary histories, determining the genetic basis of trait evolution, and supporting future conservation efforts.

Project description:Prunus mongolica is an ecologically and economically important xerophytic tree native to Northwest China. Here, we report a high-quality, chromosome-level P. mongolica genome assembly integrating PacBio high-fidelity sequencing and Hi-C technology. The assembled genome was 233.17 Mb in size, with 98.89% assigned to eight pseudochromosomes. The genome had contig and scaffold N50s of 24.33 Mb and 26.54 Mb, respectively, a BUSCO completeness score of 98.76%, and CEGMA indicated that 98.47% of the assembled genome was reliably annotated. The genome contained a total of 88.54 Mb (37.97%) of repetitive sequences and 23,798 protein-coding genes. We found that P. mongolica experienced two whole-genome duplications, with the most recent event occurring ~3.57 million years ago. Phylogenetic and chromosome syntenic analyses revealed that P. mongolica was closely related to P. persica and P. dulcis. Furthermore, we identified a number of candidate genes involved in drought tolerance and fatty acid biosynthesis. These candidate genes are likely to prove useful in studies of drought tolerance and fatty acid biosynthesis in P. mongolica, and will provide important genetic resources for molecular breeding and improvement experiments in Prunus species. This high-quality reference genome will also accelerate the study of the adaptation of xerophytic plants to drought.

Project description:The evolutionary origins of specialized organs pose significant challenges for empirical studies, as most such organs evolved millions of years ago. The Northern snakehead (Channa argus), an air-breathing fish, possesses a suprabranchial organ, a common feature of the Anabantoidei, offering a unique opportunity to investigate the function and evolutionary origins of specialized organs. In this study, a high-quality chromosome-level reference genome of C. argus was constructed using PacBio HiFi sequencing and Hi-C technology. The final genome assembly size is 712.14 Mb, with a scaffold N50 of 28.08 Mb. The assembled sequences were anchored to 24 pseudo-chromosomes and predicted 21,643 protein-coding genes. The genome comprises 27.70% repetitive elements and includes 3,588 (98.6%) complete BUSCOs, demonstrating superior contiguity and functional completeness compared to other published C. argus assemblies. This genome provides valuable genetic resources for exploring the evolution of the aquatic-aerial bimodal breathing system, including clarifying the evolutionary histories and adaptive strategies.

Project description:The Rock Bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus) is an economically important rocky reef fish of the Northwest Pacific Ocean. In recent years, it has been cultivated as an important edible fish in coastal areas of China. Despite its economic importance, genome-wide adaptions of domesticated O. fasciatus are largely unknown. Here we report a chromosome-level reference genome of female O. fasciatus (from the southern population in the subtropical region) using the PacBio single molecule sequencing technique (SMRT) and High-through chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) technologies. The genome was assembled into 120 contigs with a total length of 732.95 Mb and a contig N50 length of 27.33 Mb. After chromosome-level scaffolding, 24 chromosomes with a total length of 723.22 Mb were constructed. Moreover, a total of 27,015 protein-coding genes and 5,880 ncRNAs were annotated in the reference genome. This reference genome of O. fasciatus will provide an important resource not only for basic ecological and population genetic studies but also for dissect artificial selection mechanisms in marine aquaculture.
