Abstract
In this study, a chromosome-level genome of the tropical sea cucumber Stichopus monotuberculatus was generated by a combination of Nanopore long-read, Illumina short-read, and Hi-C sequencing technologies. The final assembly was 810.54 Mb in length, with contig N50 and scaffold N50 values of 10.15 Mb and 35.36 Mb, respectively. This assembly comprised 23 pseudo-chromosomes, covering 99.82% of the genome. Completeness analysis using BUSCO indicated that 97.8% of the metazoan conserved genes were presented in their entirety. A total of 29,596 protein-coding genes were predicted, with functional annotations available for 94.43% of these genes. The high-quality genome assembly produced in this study may provide an essential foundation for future researches on resource conservation and genetic breeding of S. monotuberculatus.
期刊介绍:
Scientific Data is an open-access journal focused on data, publishing descriptions of research datasets and articles on data sharing across natural sciences, medicine, engineering, and social sciences. Its goal is to enhance the sharing and reuse of scientific data, encourage broader data sharing, and acknowledge those who share their data.
The journal primarily publishes Data Descriptors, which offer detailed descriptions of research datasets, including data collection methods and technical analyses validating data quality. These descriptors aim to facilitate data reuse rather than testing hypotheses or presenting new interpretations, methods, or in-depth analyses.
