Comparison of whole-genome assemblies of European river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) and brook lamprey (Lampetra planeri)

Sammanfattning

We present haplotype-resolved whole-genome assemblies from one individual European river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) and one individual brook lamprey (Lampetra planeri), usually regarded as sister species. The genome assembly of L. fluviatilis consists of pseudo-haplotype one, spanning 1073 Mb and pseudo-haplotype two, spanning 963 Mb. Likewise for the L. planeri specimen, the genome assembly spans 1049 Mb and 960 Mb for pseudo-haplotypes one and two, respectively. Both the L. fluviatilis pseudo-haplotypes have been scaffolded into 82 pseudo-chromosomes, with the same number for the L. planeri pseudo-haplotypes. All four pseudo-haplotype assemblies were annotated, identifying 21,479 and 16,973 genes in pseudo-haplotypes one and two for L. fluviatilis, and 24,961 and 21,668 genes in pseudo-haplotypes one and two for L. planeri. A comparison of the genomes of L. fluviatilis and L. planeri, alongside a separate chromosome level assembly of L. fluviatilis from the UK, indicates that they form a species complex, potentially representing distinct ecotypes. This is further supported by phylogenetic analyses of the three reference Lampetra genomes in addition to sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus).
