Abstract
Mountain lions, Puma concolor, are widespread and adaptable carnivores. However, due to their large home ranges and long distance dispersals, they are strongly impacted by habitat fragmentation, which results in small and isolated populations. Genomic analyses play an important role in understanding and predicting the impacts of increased isolation of populations, such as decreased genetic diversity and increased levels of inbreeding. Here we report a high-quality, chromosome-level reference genome of P. concolor that was generated as part of the California Conservation Genomics Project. The primary assembly has a total length of 2.5 Gb contained in 258 scaffolds, a contig N50 of 42.3 Mb, a scaffold N50 of 149.8 Mb, and a BUSCO completeness score of 95%. This P. concolor genome assembly will provide an important resource for genomic analyses that aid decision makers in managing the species in fragmented landscapes.
期刊介绍：
Over the last 100 years, the Journal of Heredity has established and maintained a tradition of scholarly excellence in the publication of genetics research. Virtually every major figure in the field has contributed to the journal.
Established in 1903, Journal of Heredity covers organismal genetics across a wide range of disciplines and taxa. Articles include such rapidly advancing fields as conservation genetics of endangered species, population structure and phylogeography, molecular evolution and speciation, molecular genetics of disease resistance in plants and animals, genetic biodiversity and relevant computer programs.
