Genome of Mauremys mutica
A healthy female M. mutica (estimated age 4 years) was obtained from Guangzhou aquatic thoroughbred base of the Pearl River Fisheries Research Institute. Liver and muscle tissues were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen, and genomic DNA was extracted using a DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA) according to the manufacturers instructions. DNA quantity and quality were measured using Qubit 3.0 and 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, respectively. High-quality DNA was used for library preparation, sequencing and Hi-C library construction. Pair-ended libraries and mate-paired libraries were prepared using the standard Illumina protocol. Library sequencing was performed using the Illumina HiSeq4000 platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). After discarding low-quality reads, adapter sequences, and contaminant reads, including mitochondrial DNA, plant, bacterial, and viral sequences, clean reads were used for subsequent genome survey, correction, and evaluation.
