Draft genome of the Chinese seabass (Lateolabrax maculatus)

Refined chromosome-level genome assembly of spotted sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus). 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.
