Abstract
Abstract
Golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus), a marine fish in the Carangidae family, has a wide geographical distribution and adapts to severe environmental rigours. It is also an economically valuable aquaculture fish. To understand the genetic mechanism of adaption to environmental rigours and improve the production in aquaculture, we assembled its genome. By combination of Illumina and Pacbio reads, the obtained genome sequence is 647.5 Mb with the contig N50 of 1.80 Mb and the scaffold N50 of 5.05 Mb. The assembly covers 98.9% of the estimated genome size (655 Mb). Based on Hi-C data, 99.4% of the assembled bases are anchored into 24 pseudo-chromosomes. The annotation includes 21,915 protein-coding genes, in which 95.7% of 2,586 BUSCO vertebrate conserved genes are complete. This genome is expected to contribute to the comparative analysis of the Carangidae family.
