Abstract Background Electric eels evolved remarkable electric organs that enable them to instantaneously discharge hundreds of volts for predation, defense, and communication. However, the absence a high-quality reference genome has extremely constrained studies in various aspects. Results Using high-depth, multiplatform sequencing data, we successfully assembled first telomere-to-telomere Electrophorus electricus, which size 833.43 Mb comprises 26 chromosomes. Multiple evaluations,...
Abstract Diamondback terrapins ( Malaclemys terrapin centrata ) exhibit strong environmental adaptability and live in both freshwater saltwater. However, the genetic basis of this has not been focus research. In study, we successfully constructed a ∼2.21‐Gb chromosome‐level genome assembly for M. t. using high‐coverage high‐depth genomic sequencing data generated on multiple platforms. The contains 25 chromosomes scaffold N50 ∼143.75 Mb, demonstrating high continuity accuracy. total, 53.82%...
