A telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of koi carp (Cyprinus carpio) using long reads and Hi-C technology
1 Jan 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is a key species in global freshwater aquaculture. One of its variants, the koi carp, is particularly prized for its aesthetic appeal. However, lacking a high-quality genome has limited genetic research and breeding efforts for common carp and koi carp. FINDINGS: This study presents a gap-free genome for the Taisho Sansyoku koi carp strain (C. carpio). The assembly...
