C. myriaster genome snail plot and circos plot. (a) The BlobToolKit snail plot displays the scaffold N50 metric and BUSCO gene completeness. The main plot is divided into 1,000 size-ordered bins, with each bin representing 0.10% of the 1,093,778,583 bp assembly. The gray area shows the distribution of sequence lengths, and the radius of the plot is scaled to the longest sequence in the assembly (91,834,031 bp, highlighted in red). The orange and light orange arcs represent the scaffold N50 and N90 sequence lengths (58,402,862 bp and 39,753,706 bp, respectively). The light gray spiral displays the cumulative sequence count on a logarithmic scale, with white tick marks indicating successive orders of magnitude. The outer blue and light blue regions illustrate the distribution of GC, AT, and N percentages within the same bins as the inner plot. In the upper right corner, a summary of BUSCO genes from the actinopterygii_odb10 dataset is shown, including complete, fragmented, duplicated, and missing BUSCOs. (b) The Circos plot illustrates the GC content, gene density, repetitive sequences, and collinearity between chromosomes in the assembled genome of C. myriaster. The Circos plot represents fundamental information about the genome. The outermost layer displays the chromosome names and their lengths. Moving inward, the purple band represents GC content, the blue band indicates gene density, and the green band denotes repetitive sequences. The innermost part illustrates the synteny among chromosomes within C. myriaster.
