| Abstract |
In this study, a chromosome-level genome of the tropical sea cucumber Stichopus monotuberculatus was generated by a combination of Nanopore long-read, Illumina short-read, and Hi-C sequencing technologies. The fnal assembly was 810.54Mb in length, with contig N50 and scafold N50 values of 10.15Mb and 35.36Mb, respectively. This assembly comprised 23 pseudo-chromosomes, covering 99.82% of the genome. Completeness analysis using BUSCO indicated that 97.8% of the metazoan conserved genes were presented in their entirety. A total of 29,596 protein-coding genes were predicted, with functional annotations available for 94.43% of these genes. The high-quality genome assembly produced in this study may provide an essential foundation for future researches on resource conservation and genetic breeding of S. monotuberculatus. |
