Gap-free telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of stone flounder ( Kareius bicoloratus ) (opens in new tab)

Stone flounder (Kareius bicoloratus) is an emerging commercially important flatfish species in China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, because of its significant industrial value. However, no stone flounder genome sequence was reported to date, which greatly hinders the research on genetics and evolutionary genomics. In this study, we successfully assembled the first gap-free telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome of stone flounder combining Illumina short-reads sequencing, PacBio HiFi sequencing, Hi-C s...
