Abstract
AbstractHerein, we present the first high-quality long-read-based chromosome-level genome assemblies and gene annotations of the genomes of three endangered Tokudaia species: Tokudaia osimensis, Tokudaia tokunoshimensis, and Tokudaia muenninki. These species, which are endemic to different islands of the Ryukyu Islands, Japan, exhibited unique karyotypes and sex chromosomal characteristics. The genome assemblies generated using PacBio, Illumina, and Hi-C sequence data consisted of 13 (corresponded to 12 autosomes and one X chromosome), 23 (corresponded to 22 autosomes and one X chromosome), and 23 (corresponded to 21 autosomes and the neo- and ancestral X regions) chromosome-level scaffolds that contained 2,445, 2,477, and 2,661 Mbp of sequence data, respectively. Annotations of protein-coding genes were performed using RNA-Seq-based, homology-based, and Ab initio methods. BUSCO completeness values for every species exceeded 96% for genomes and 98% for genes. These data can be an important resource for contributing to our understanding of species genomes resulting from allopatric speciation and provide insights into mammalian sex-determination mechanisms and sex chromosome evolution.
