Rhomboplites aurorubens isolate:SJ-19-092 Genome sequencing

Vermillion Snapper (Rhomboplites aurorubens, Family Lutjanidae) is widely distributed in deeper waters (> 300 m) of the western Atlantic Ocean from North America through Brazil. It supports both a large commercial and popular recreational fishery. We sequenced a chromosomal-level genome assembly based on PacBio long reads, Illumina short reads, and Hi-C data. The genome has a size of 987 Mb, with a scaffold N50 size of 4.1 Mb, organized onto 24 chromosomes. The vermillion snapper genome will offer valuable information that enhances our understanding of fish populations, informs comparative genomic studies across fish species, and supports fishery management.

朱红笛鲷（Vermillion Snapper，学名Rhomboplites aurorubens，隶属笛鲷科Lutjanidae）广泛分布于西大西洋从北美洲至巴西海域的300米以深的深水区域。该物种既是重要的商业捕捞对象，也是广受欢迎的休闲垂钓目标，支撑起规模化的渔业产业。本研究基于PacBio长读长测序（PacBio long reads）、Illumina短读长测序（Illumina short reads）及Hi-C数据（Hi-C data），构建了该物种的染色体级别基因组组装（chromosomal-level genome assembly）。该基因组总长度为987 Mb，支架N50（scaffold N50）值为4.1 Mb，共组装为24条染色体。朱红笛鲷基因组将提供宝贵的研究资源，有助于深化对鱼类种群的认知，为跨鱼类物种的比较基因组学研究提供参考依据，并可为渔业管理工作提供有力支撑。
