- Chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation of the skinnycheek lanternfish Benthosema ptertum
- Abstract
- Lanternfsh not only boast the most abundant biomass among marine fsh species but also play a vital role in marine ecosystems. As one of the lanternfsh species with the highest global catch, the skinnycheek lanternfsh (Benthosema pterotum) is widely distributed in the Indo-Pacifc region, playing a pivotal role in the marine biological pump. This study constructed the frst chromosome-level genome of B. pterotum using a combination of short-read sequencing, PacBio, and Hi-C sequencing technologies. The genome size of B. pterotum is 1,272.53Mb, with a contig N50 of 810 Kb and a scafold N50 of 54.49M. More than 99.65% of contigs were successfully anchored onto 24 pseudochromosomes, and 95.7% of BUSCO genes were identifed within the genome, demonstrating the high level of completeness in genome assembly. A total of 24,934 protein-coding genes were predicted, of which 99.02% were functionally annotated. The successful assembly of a high-quality genome for B. pterotum provides valuable genetic resources for better understanding its biological characteristics and potentially those of all lanternfsh species.
