The sequence and de novo assembly of Oxygymnocypris stewartii genome.


ABSTRACT: Animal genomes in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau provide valuable resources for scientists to understand the molecular mechanism of environmental adaptation. Tibetan fish species play essential roles in the local ecology; however, the genomic information for native fishes was still insufficient. Oxygymnocypris stewartii, belonging to Oxygymnocypris genus, Schizothoracinae subfamily, is a native fish in the Tibetan plateau living within the elevation from roughly 3,000?m to 4,200?m. In this report, PacBio and Illumina sequencing platform were used to generate ~385.3?Gb genomic sequencing data. A genome of about 1,849.2?Mb was obtained with a contig N50 length of 257.1?kb. More than 44.5% of the genome were identified as repetitive elements, and 46,400 protein-coding genes were annotated in the genome. The assembled genome can be used as a reference for future population genetic studies of O. stewartii and will improve our understanding of high altitude adaptation of fishes in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.
