Abstract:
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Raja brachyura (Blonde Ray; Chordata; Chondrichthyes; Rajiformes; Rajidae). The genome sequence spans 2,700.50 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 49 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.12 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 24,252 protein-coding genes.

Lampbrush Chromosomes
LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops...
