Journal Article
Chromosome-level genome assembly of the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus
2023
Overview
Sea cucumber is a morphologically diverse and ecologically important clade of echinoderms. The sea cucumber
Apostichopus japonicus
is the most economically valuable species of sea cucumber. The initial assembly of the
A. japonicus
genome was released in 2017. However, this genome assembly is fragmented and lacks relative position information of genes on chromosomes. In this study, we produced a high-quality chromosome-level genome of
A. japonicus
using Pacbio HiFi long-reads and Hi-C sequencing data. The assembled
A. japonicus
genome spanned 671.60 Mb with a contig N50 size of 17.20 Mb and scaffold N50 size of 29.65 Mb. A total of 99.9% of the assembly was anchored to 23 chromosomes. In total, 19,828 genes were annotated, and 97.2% of BUSCO genes were fully represented. This high-quality genome of
A. japonicus
will not only aid in the development of sustainable aquaculture practices, but also lay a foundation for a deeper understanding of their genetic makeup, evolutionary history, and ecological adaptation.
