Assembly of the poorly differentiated Verasper variegatus W chromosome by different sequencing technologies

Abstract The assembly of W and Y chromosomes poses significant challenges in vertebrate genome sequencing and assembly. Here, we successfully assembled the W chromosome of Verasper variegatus with a length of 20.48 Mb by combining population and PacBio HiFi sequencing data. It was identified as a yo...
