Chromosome-scale genome assembly of Otocolobus manul
We employed an integrated approach combining PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing for contiguous sequence assembly, Illumina short-read sequencing for base-level accuracy validation, and Hi-C chromatin interaction mapping for chromosomal scaffolding.we report a high-quality O. manul genome assembly, with scaffolds anchored to 19 chromosomes and a total assembled length of 2.55 Gb (contig N50 = 96.32 Mb)
