Chromosome-Level Genome of the Invasive Suckermouth Catfish

A chromosome-level genome assembly for the invasive Suckermouth catfish Pterygoplichthys disjunctivus (Loricariidae). The dataset is 461.7 MB in size and was authored by yongrui lu, last updated on May 1, 2026. It is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics analysis based on the chromosome-level assembly
• Studying genetic adaptations of invasive species based on the genome sequence
• Phylogenetic placement of Loricariidae catfish based on genomic data
• Identifying genomic markers for population monitoring based on the assembled genome

Strengths

• Dataset size is 461.7 MB, indicating a substantial genomic resource.
• The genome is assembled to chromosome-level, a high-quality standard.
• License is CC-BY-4.0, permitting open sharing and reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
