Elaphe carinata Genome sequencing and assembly. Elaphe carinata

We assembled the first highly contiguous E.carinate genome by using stLFR sequencing data and combined with next-generation sequencing data for correction. The genome size of E.carinate genome is 1.56Gb, the maximal length of scaffold is 49.75M and the N50 length is 6.53M. The GC content of E.carinate is 40.25%. In addition, the content of repetitive elements in the genome accounted for 38.90%, and the total length reached 621Mb. We masked all these repeat sequences for genome annotation. Finally, a total of 22,065 functional genes were annotated.
