Genomics

[edit]

A haplotype-resolved chromosome-level genome assembly of Schizothorax davidi was published in 2026, providing the first reference genome for the species. The genome is approximately 3.7 Gb in size and comprises 98 chromosomes. The assembly has a BUSCO completeness of 99.0% and contains 98,079 predicted protein-coding genes.[3]
