Abstract
The Laudakia wui, also known as Wui's rock agama, is a species of agamid lizard endemic to Xizang, China, and is distributed within the Yarlung Zangbo River basin in the Nyingchi city. In order to better understand its ecology, population dynamics, and conservation requirements, we have generated a high-quality chromosome-scale genome with genome size of 1.78 Gb (scaffold N50 = 195.02 Mb), and a BUSCO score of 93.2%. We also identified 20,805 protein-coding genes with gene annotation complete BUSCO were 95.7%, of which 96.23% were functionally annotated. In summary, this genomic information of L. wui is crucial for uncovering its unique evolutionary adaptations and understanding its role in the ecosystem, and is essential for developing targeted conservation strategies and managing biodiversity in this ecologically sensitive region.
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.
