Wentao Han generated a high-quality telomere-to-telomere genome assembly for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) using PacBio HiFi, ONT ultra-long, and Hi-C sequencing. The assembly spans 2,981.11 Mb with contig N50 of 101.69 Mb and scaffold N50 of 114.45 Mb, and includes annotation for 45,639 protein-coding genes. It was last updated on May 26, 2026.
Use Cases
- Comparative genomics studies based on the improved contiguity and completeness of the assembly.
- Gene annotation and functional analysis based on the 45,639 annotated protein-coding genes.
- Population genetics and breeding program design based on the high-quality genomic resource.
- Reference genome mapping for sequencing projects based on the T2T assembly's accuracy.
Strengths
- Assembly spans 2,981.11 Mb with contig N50 of 101.69 Mb, indicating high contiguity.
- BUSCO completeness reached 98.8%, suggesting near-complete gene representation.
- 45,639 protein-coding genes were annotated, providing a substantial resource for functional studies.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analyses.
- Data may reflect bias inherent to the specific sequencing and assembly methods used.
