Genome assembly reveals ecological roles and evolutionary patterns of Stigmatoteuthis arcturi, highlighting its deep-sea habitat.
<ns3:p>The <ns3:italic>Stigmatoteuthis arcturi</ns3:italic> reference genome offers a valuable resource for understanding the evolutionary patterns of oceanic squids, who perform important ecological roles as both predators and prey in mesopelagic and deep-sea environments, while their genomes remain understudied. The entirety of the genome sequence was assembled into 46 contiguous chromosomal pseudomolecules. This chromosome-level assembly encompasses 3.25 Gb, composed of 1,268 contigs and 497 scaffolds, with contig and scaffold N50 values of 11.0 Mb and 74.6 Mb, respectively.</ns3:p>
