Abstract
Spangled emperor, Lethrinus nebulosus (Forsskål 1775), is a tropical marine fish of economic and cultural importance throughout the Indo-West Pacific. It is one of the most targeted recreational fishes in the Gascoyne Coast Bioregion of Western Australia where it serves as an indicator species for recreational fishing. Here, we present a highly accurate, near-gapless, chromosome-level, haplotype-phased reference genome assembly of L. nebulosus (Lethrinus nebulosus (Spangled Emperor) genome, fLetNeb1.1; PRJNA1074345), the first for the species and the first high-quality genome representative of the family Lethrinidae. The 1.09 Gb genome was assembled from PacBio HiFi and Dovetail Omni-C proximity ligation sequencing data. The contig N50 is 21-24 Mbp and BUSCO completeness greater than 99%. A preliminary gene annotation identified 24,583 genes with the predicted transcriptome achieving a BUSCO completeness score of 99.1% This resource will facilitate genomic studies to inform the sustainable management of L. nebulosus and other Lethrinids.
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.
