The De Novo Genome Sequencing of Silver Pheasant (Lophura nycthemera).


ABSTRACT: Silver pheasant (Lophura nycthemera) belongs to Phasianidae, Galliformes, which exhibits high subspecific differentiation. In this study, we assembled a novel genome based on 98.42 Gb of Illumina sequencing data and 30.20 Gb of PacBio sequencing data. The size of the final assembled genome was 1.01 Gb, with a contig N50 of 6.96 Mb. Illumina paired-end reads (94.96%) were remapped to the contigs. The assemble genome shows high completeness, with a complete BUSCO score of 92.35% using the avian data set. A total of 16,747 genes were predicted from the generated assembly, and 16,486 (98.44%) of the genes were annotated. The average length of genes, exons, and introns were 19,827.53, 233.69, and 1841.19 bp, respectively. Noncoding RNAs included 208 miRNAs, 40 rRNAs, and 264 tRNAs, and a total of 189 pseudogenes were identified; 116.31 Mb (11.47%) of the genome consisted of repeat sequences, with the greatest proportion of LINEs. This assembled genome provides a valuable reference genome for further studies on the evolutionary history and conversion genetics of L. nycthemera and the phylogenomics of the Galliformes lineage.
