A chromosome-level assembly of the black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) genome facilitates the identification of growth-associated genes

National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA)

Here, we report the first chromosome-level whole-genome assembly of P. monodon. The combination of long-read Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) and long-range Chicago and Hi-C technologies enabled a successful assembly of this first high-quality genome sequence.
