Description
Lei Chen and co-authors assembled chromosome-level genomes for male and female greater amberjack, a prized food fish. Existing gene data for the species were fragmentary, limiting breeding and biology research. Sex is also hard to tell from appearance, which hampers hatchery breeding programs.
Using long-read sequencing plus a chromosome contact method, the team anchored both genomes onto twenty-four chromosomes. Completeness scores came out near ninety-nine percent, and roughly twenty-four thousand genes were annotated in each sex. Having both sexes' genomes at this quality opens work on growth, disease resistance, and sex determination. Hatcheries may gain genetic markers to sort males and females early.
