Abstract
- Abstract Asterias amurensis has attracted widespread concern because of its population outbreaks, which has impacted fisheries and aquaculture, as well as disrupting local ecosystems. A high-quality reference genome is necessary to better investigate mechanisms of outbreak and adaptive changes. Combining PacBio HiFi and Hi-C sequencing data, we generated a chromosome-level A. amurensis genome with a size of 491.53 Mb. The contig N50 and scaffold N50 were 8.05 and 23.75 Mb, respectively. The result of BUSCO analysis revealed a completeness score of 98.85%. A total of 16,531 protein-coding genes were predicted in the genome, of which 94.63% were functionally annotated. The high-quality genome assembly resulting from this study will provide a valuable genetic resource for future research on the mechanism of population outbreaks and invasion ecology.
