TL;DR
This paper presents the genome sequence of the Atlantic Bluefin Tuna, including a detailed assembly and gene annotation.
Contribution
The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for the Atlantic Bluefin Tuna.
Findings
The genome assembly is 799.05 megabases long with 99.17% scaffolded into 24 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
The mitochondrial genome is 16.53 kilobases long.
Gene annotation identified 23,266 protein-coding genes.
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from a specimen of Thunnus thynnus (Atlantic Bluefin Tuna; Chordata; Actinopteri; Scombriformes; Scombridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 799.05 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.17%) is scaffolded into 24 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.53 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 23,266 protein-coding genes.
