Macrobrachium_rosenbergii_annotation

Here we constructed a high-quality reference genome for <i>M. rosenbergii</i> by using Nanopore, Illumina, and high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) technologies. The final genome size is 3.18 Gb, with the scaffold N50 and contig N50 of 62.73 Mb and 8.92 Mb, respectively. Approximately 98.6% of assembled sequence were anchored into 59 pseudo-chromosomes. Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs (BUSCO) benchmark of genome assembly reached 94.5%. Repetitive sequences comprise 43.77% of the assembled genome, and 17,436 protein-coding genes were annotated. The high-quality genome of<i> M. rosenbergii</i> will empower molecular breeding efforts and provide invaluable resources for comparative genomic analysis of decapod species.
