摘要: The domestic cat (Felis catus) is one of the most popular companion animals in world. Comprehensive genomic resources will aid development and application veterinary medicine including to improve feline health, particular, enable precision which promising human application. However, currently available genome assemblies were mostly built based on Abyssinian breed highly inbred has limited power representing vast diversity population. Moreover, current reference assembly remains fragmented with sequences contained thousands scaffolds. We constructed a reference-grade chromosome-scale cat, Felis catus American Shorthair breed, Anicom shorthair 1.0 (AnAms1.0) high contiguity (scaffold N50 > 120 Mb), by combining multiple advanced technologies, PacBio long-read sequencing as well sequence scaffolding long-range information obtained from Hi-C optical mapping data. Homology-based ab initio gene annotation was performed Iso-Seq Analyzed data be publicly accessible Cats informatics (Cats-I, https://cat.annotation.jp/), database established platform facilitate accumulation sharing care.
