Notothenia rossii Genome sequencing and assembly
The Antarctic marbled rockcod, Notothenia rossii, is a key non-model species for understanding cold adaptation and chromosomal evolution in extreme marine environments. Here, we present a high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly for N. rossii generated using a combination of PacBio long reads, Hi-C, and Illumina short reads. Additionally, Iso-seq data was utilized to improve the accuracy of structural gene annotation. This comprehensive genomic resource will provide valuable insights into the evolutionary mechanisms of cold adaptation and chromosomal restructuring in Antarctic teleosts.
