Whole-genome survey and phylogenetic analysis of Gadus macrocephalus.

ABSTRACT: Gadus macrocephalus (Pacific cod) is an economically important species on the northern coast of the Pacific. Although numerous studies on G. macrocephalus exist, there are few reports on its genomic data. Here, we used whole-genome sequencing data to elucidate the genomic characteristics and phylogenetic relationship of G. macrocephalus. From the 19-mer frequency distribution, the genome size was estimated to be 658.22 Mb. The heterozygosity, repetitive sequence content and GC content were approximately 0.62%, 27.50% and 44.73%, respectively. The draft genome sequences were initially assembled, yielding a total of 500,760 scaffolds (N50 = 3565 bp). A total of 789,860 microsatellite motifs were identified from the genomic data, and dinucleotide repeat was the most dominant simple sequence r
