High-quality chromosome-scale genome assembly of Laudakia wui (Laudakia, Agamidae)

Abstract The Laudakia wui, also known as Wui’s rock agama, is a species of agamid lizard endemic to Xizang, China, and is distributed within the Yarlung Zangbo River basin in the Nyingchi city. In order to better understand its ecology, population dynamics, and conservation requirements, we have gen...

description Abstract The Laudakia wui, also known as Wui’s rock agama, is a species of agamid lizard endemic to Xizang, China, and is distributed within the Yarlung Zangbo River basin in the Nyingchi city. In order to better understand its ecology, population dynamics, and conservation requirements, we have generated a high-quality chromosome-scale genome with genome size of 1.78 Gb (scaffold N50 = 195.02 Mb), and a BUSCO score of 93.2%. We also identified 20,805 protein-coding genes with gene annotation complete BUSCO were 95.7%, of which 96.23% were functionally annotated. In summary, this genomic information of L. wui is crucial for uncovering its unique evolutionary adaptations and understanding its role in the ecosystem, and is essential for developing targeted conservation strategies and managing biodiversity in this ecologically sensitive region.
