Diptychus maculatus isolate:Tarim and Ili river systems in Xinjiang Genome sequencing. Diptychus maculatus isolate:Tarim and Ili river systems in Xinjiang

The scaly osman (Diptychus maculatus), belonging to the order Cypriniformes and family Cyprinidae, is a cold-water fish endemic to China and considered rare. Whole-genome sequencing, a vital tool for assessing genetic structure and diversity, enhances management and conservation efforts for endangered species, deepening our understanding of their genetic adaptations and threats.
