Near telomere-to-telomere and gap-free reference genome assembly of the WuLi carp (Cyprinus carpio var. Quanzhounensis)
Cyprinus carpio var. Quanzhounensis (WuLi carp), a native fish from Quanzhou, Guangxi, China, is well-adapted to mountainous rice-fish farming systems, yet genomic studies on the strain remain scarce. This study presents the first near telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome and gapless assembly of C. carpio var. Q...
