- A chromosome-level assembly of the alpine snow alga Chloromonas typhlos. Liu, Gai Luo, Wei Yao, Sheng Yang, Ming-Kun Yuan, Xiaoyu Peng, Zhao Deng, Xuan Wan, Cuihong Zhao, Chengtian Zhang, Cheng-Cai Miao, Wei Lin, Senjie Huang, Kaiyao Chloromonas typhlos is a cosmopolitan alpine snow alga distributed across continents, and its blooming accelerates snow melting by decreasing the amount of snow albedo. To elucidate the genetic traits underlying the adaptation of C. typhlos to the alpine habitat, we combined PacBio sequencing and Hi-C to generate a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly (contig N50: 1.29 Mb; scaffold N50: 7.23 Mb) with 31 chromosomes and a genome size of 200.86 Mb. Repetitive elements constituted 11.05% of the genome, and 16,133 protein-coding genes were predicted, of which 82% were functionally annotated. This study provides a set of omics resources both for snow algae and the genus Chloromonas.
