Draft genome of the Chinese seabass (Lateolabrax maculatus)

Refined chromosome-level genome assembly of spotted sea bass (<i>Lateolabrax maculatus</i>). previous reference genome assembly was completed with high accuracy and contiguity at the scaffold level (GenBank accession: GCA_004028665.1). However, the obsolete software LACHESIS was used in processing the raw Hi-C data and chromosome-level scaffolding, which may have introduced sub-optimal orderings and orientations of scaffolds. We therefore re-assembled the reference genome at the chromosome level to correct potential assembly mistakes using the recently developed software 3D-DNA.

花鲈（Lateolabrax maculatus）的精细染色体级基因组组装。此前的参考基因组组装已在支架（scaffold）水平实现了高精度与高连续性，其GenBank登录号为GCA_004028665.1。然而，该组装在处理原始Hi-C数据与染色体水平支架构建流程时，使用了过时的LACHESIS软件，这可能导致支架序列的排列顺序与空间取向存在非最优的问题。因此，本研究借助新近开发的3D-DNA软件，对该参考基因组开展染色体级别的重新组装，以修正潜在的组装错误。
