Telomere-to-telomere genome assembly
With the sequencing technologies, we present the first telomere-to-telomere genome in blackchin tilapia (Sarotherodon melanotheron), a 996.95 Mb assembly (scaffold N50: 42.04 Mb) anchored to 22 chromosomes. This genome assembly was generated by integrating multiple sequencing technologies, including short reads, PacBio HiFi long reads, ONT ultra-long reads, and Hi-C data.
