Abstract:
Chrysaora achlyos is a distinctive scyphozoan species characterized by its dark pigmentation and large size. In this study, we generated a haplotype-resolved, chromosome-scale genome assembly for C.achlyos using PacBio HiFi long reads and Hi-C technology. The resulting assembly comprises two haplotypes with sizes of 246.43 Mb (contig N50 = 7.69 Mb) and 248.65 Mb (contig N50 = 7.23 Mb), Additionally, repetitive sequences were characterized, with 110.52 Mb (~44.85%) in haplotype A and 112.57 Mb (~45.27%) in haplotype B. A total of 20,471 and 20,606 protein-coding genes were predicted in haplotypes A and B, respectively. The sequencing depth, mapping coverage, contig continuity, and BUSCO assessment collectively indicated a high-quality haplotype-resolved genome assembly. This high-quality genome assembly provides a foundation for future studies in comparative evolution, toxicology, ecology, and functional genomics.

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...
