Chromosome-level genome assembly of a critically endangered species Leuciscus chuanchicus. [PDF]
Sci DataAbstract Leuciscus chuanchicus, a critically endangered cyprinid endemic in the Yellow River, represents an evolutionary significant lineage within Leuciscinae. However, conservation efforts for this species have been hindered by the lack of genetic and genomic resources. Here we reported a high-quality chromosome-level genome of
