Abstract
The classification of the Uranoscopidae species is controversial and the Ichthyscopus pollicaris belonging to Uranoscopidae was first reported in 2019. In the present study, the whole genome sequence of I. pollicaris were generated by PacBio and Illumina platforms for the first time. After de novo assembly and correction of the high-quality PacBio data, a 527.25 Mb I. pollicaris genome with an N50 length of 11.25 Mb was finally generated. Meanwhile, 170.41 Mb repeating sequence, 21,263 genes, 784 miRNAs, 2,225 tRNAs, 3004 rRNAs, and 1422 snRNAs were annotated in I. pollicaris genome. Furthermore, 3,168 single-copy orthologous genes were applied to reconstructed the phylogenetic relationship between I. pollicaris and other 11 species. The draft genome sequences have been deposited in NCBI database with the accession number of PRJNA1071810.
