Samia ricini T2T Genome Assembly with Functional Annotation and piRNA Maps

A telomere-to-telomere genome assembly for the Eri silkmoth, Samia ricini, generated using ONT ultra-long reads. The dataset includes the softmasked genome sequence, gene models with protein and transcript sequences, functional annotations, and piRNA cluster distribution maps for larval testis, ovary, and early embryos. The data was authored by Jung Lee and last updated on 2026-05-01.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics analysis based on the complete, gap-free genome assembly.
• Gene model validation and functional annotation studies based on the provided GTF and protein sequence files.
• Investigation of piRNA biology and transposon silencing based on the tissue-specific piRNA cluster maps.

Strengths

• Provides a scaffolding-free, telomere-to-telomere assembly, indicating high contiguity.
• Includes multiple data types: genome sequence, gene models, functional annotation, and piRNA maps.
• Dataset size is 642.2 MB, suggesting substantial genomic content.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
