A chromosome-level genome assembly of the scaly osman Diptychus maculatus (opens in new tab)

Diptychus maculatus, a rare cold-water cyprinid endemic to the high-altitude river systems of Xinjiang, China, has experienced range contraction and increasing conservation concern. However, the lack of a chromosome-level reference genome has limited downstream studies in conservation genomics and comparative genomics for this non-model species. Here, we present a chromosome-level genome assembly of D. maculatus generated using PacBio HiFi, Illumina short-read, and Hi-C data, with RNA-seq sup...
