Abstract
AbstractThe darkbarbel catfish (Pelteobagrus vachelli), an economically important aquaculture species in China, is extensively employed in hybrid yellow catfish production due to its superior growth rate. However, information on its genome has been limited, constraining further genetic studies and breeding programs. Leveraging the power of PacBio long-read sequencing and Hi-C technologies, we present a high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly for the darkbarbel catfish. The resulting assembly spans 692.10 Mb, with an impressive 99.9% distribution over 26 chromosomes. The contig N50 and scaffold N50 are 13.30 Mb and 27.55 Mb, respectively. The genome is predicted to contain 22,109 protein-coding genes, with 96.1% having functional annotations. Repeat elements account for approximately 35.79% of the genomic landscape. The completeness of darkbarbel catfish genome assembly is highlighted by a BUSCO score of 99.07%. This high-quality genome assembly provides a critical resource for future hybrid catfish breeding, comparative genomics, and evolutionary studies in catfish and other related species.
