摘要

Objectives

The Jaguar (Panthera onca) is a large cat species native to the Americas. Despite being successful predators, jaguar populations have declined due to habitat loss. Genome resources can help in conservation efforts as well as in understanding the interesting biology of these Felids. Beside contiguity, a well annotated reference genome provides contextual information for variants that will benefit the design of appropriate conservation programs.

Data description

We sequenced material from two individuals using a combination of ONT reads and Illumina PE. The resulting nuclear genome assembly has a larger contig N50 (48.04 Mb) compared with the existing annotated chromosome-level assembly published by the DNA Zoo project. Using public Hi-C data, we obtained an improved chromosome-level assembly of the Jaguar genome (mPanOnc3.5) with larger contigs, 99.85% of the sequence assigned to chromosomes and 25,267 protein coding genes annotated. Overall, this improved assembly provides a better reference to study this threatened species.
