Abstract
Takifugu bimaculatus is a native teleost species of the southeast coast of China where it has been cultivated as an important edible fish in the last decade. Genetic breeding programs, which have been recently initiated for improving the aquaculture performance of T. bimaculatus, urgently require a high-quality reference genome to facilitate genome selection and related genetic studies. To address this need, we produced a chromosome-level reference genome of T. bimaculatus using the PacBio single molecule sequencing technique (SMRT) and High-through chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) technologies. The genome was assembled into 2,193 contigs with a total length of 404.21 Mb and a contig N50 length of 1.31 Mb. After chromosome-level scaffolding, 22 chromosomes with a total length of 371.68 Mb were constructed. Moreover, a total of 21,117 protein-coding genes and 3,471 ncRNAs were annotated in the reference genome. The highly accurate, chromosome-level reference genome of T. bimaculatus provides an essential genome resource for not only the genome-scale selective breeding of T. bimaculatus but also the exploration of the evolutionary basis of the speciation and local adaptation of the Takifugu genus.

Background & Summary
Takifugu, belongs to Tetraodontidae in Tetraodontiformes, is native to estuaries and the offshore area of the northwest Pacific1. Despite the lethal amounts of tetrodotoxin in their bodies, Takifugu are still considered a delicacy in East Asia. Takifugu is also an established teleost model species due to its compact genome. As the first sequenced teleost genome, the genome of Takifugu rubripes was completely sequenced in 20021. Another important Takifugu species, Takifugu bimaculatus (Fig. S1a), is a typically endemic species in the marginal sea from the south Yellow Sea to the South China Sea. T. bimaculatus inhabits lower latitudes and adapts to higher temperatures than T. rubripes2, providing an excellent model for exploring thermal adaptation and adaptive divergence in teleost fishes. In the past decade, T. bimaculatus has been widely cultured in southeast China, where the temperature is beyond the upper thermal tolerance of T. rubripes. Recently, genetic breeding programs of T. bimaculatus have been initiated, mainly aiming to improve growth rates and disease resistance under aquaculture conditions. Therefore, there is an urgent need to collect sufficient genetic materials and genome resources to facilitate genome-scale studies and selective breeding. However, a highly accurate, chromosome-level reference genome of subtropical Takifugu species is still lacking, which hinders the progress of genetic improvement and genetic studies of its thermal plasticity and adaptation at lower latitudes.
In this report, we provided a chromosome-level reference genome of T. bimaculatus using a combination of the PacBio single molecule sequencing technique (SMRT) and high-through chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) technologies. We assembled the genome sequences into 2,193 contigs with a total length of 404.21 Mb and a contig N50 length of 1.31 Mb. After chromosome-level scaffolding, 22 scaffolds were constructed corresponding to 22 chromosomes with a total length of 371.68 Mb (92% of the total length of all contigs). Furthermore, we identified 109.92 Mb (27.20% of the assembly) of repeat content, 21,117 protein-coding genes and 3,471 ncRNAs. In addition, we also assembled a chromosome-level reference genome of Larimichthys crocea3, which is one of the top commercial marine fishery species in China, via almost the same strategy. The wo high-quality assembled genomes confirmed the stability and suitability of this strategy for marine fishes. The availability of a chromosome-level, well-annotated reference genome is essential to support basic genetic studies and will contribute to genome-scale selective breeding programs for these important maricultural species.
Methods
Ethics statement
The T. bimaculatus used in this work were obtained from Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, China. This work was approved by the Animal Care and Use committee at the College of Ocean and Earth Sciences, ** for sex and growth-related traits of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Scientific reports 6, 26693, https://doi.org/10.1038/srep26693 (2016)." href="/article/10.1038/s41597-019-0195-2#ref-CR4" id="ref-link-section-d71753863e660">4. Total RNA was extracted using the TRIZOL Kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) from different tissues following the manufacturer’s protocol5 and mixed equally for RNA-Seq. Nucleic acid concentrations were quantified using a Qubit fluorometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA), and then checked by 1.5% agarose gel electrophoresis stained for integrity.
Library construction and sequencing
A genome survey was performed based on Illumina short reads for estimating genome size, heterozygosity and repeat content, which provides a basic evaluation before we started the large scale whole genome sequencing. A library with a 350 bp insert size was constructed from NMW gDNA following the standard protocol provided by Illumina (San Diego, CA, USA). The library was then sequenced with a paired-end sequencing strategy using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform, and the read length was 2 × 150 bp. Finally, ~53.43 Gb raw data were generated. After removing the low-quality bases and paired reads with the Illumina adaptor sequence using SolexaQA++ 6 (version v.3.1.7.1), a total of ~53.28 Gb clean reads, were retained for the genome survey (Table 1).
For the preparation of the single-molecule real-time (SMRT) DNA template, the HMW gDNA was sheared into large fragments (10 K bp on average) by ultrasonication and then end-repaired according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Pacific Biosciences). The blunt hairpins and sequencing adaptor were ligated to the DNA fragments, DNA sequencing polymerases were bound to the SMRTbell templates. Finally, the library was quantified using a Qubit 4 Fluorometer (Invitrogen, USA). After sequencing with the PacBio SEQUEL platform at Novogene (Tian**), a total of 3.86 Million (~28.97 Gb) long reads were generated and used for the following genome assembly. The average and N50 length of the subreads sequences were 7,505 bp and 12,513 bp, respectively. According to the genome survey, the genome size of T. bimaculatus was estimated to be 393.15 Mb; therefore, the average sequencing coverage was 73.69× (Table 1).
For Hi-C sequencing, the Mbol restriction enzyme was used to digest the HMW gDNA after fixing the conformation of HMW gDNA by formaldehyde, after which the 5′ overhangs were repaired with biotinylated residues. The isolated DNA was reverse-crosslinked, purified and filtered for biotin-containing fragments after blunt-end ligation in situ. Thereafter, the DNA was sheared into fragments by ultrasonication and subsequently repaired by T4 DNA polymerase, T4 polynucleotide kinase and Klenow DNA polymerase. Then, dATP was attached to the 3′ ends of the end-repaired DNA, and 300–500 bp fragments were retrieved by Caliper LabChip Xte (PerkinElmer, USA). The DNA concentration was quantified by a Qubit 4 Fluorometer, and the Illumina Paired-End adapters were ligated to the DNA by T4 DNA Ligase. The 12-cycle PCR products were purified by AMPureXP beads. Finally, sequencing of the Hi-C library was performed on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform and yielded a total of 128.64 Gb paired-end raw reads, with an average sequencing coverage of 117.80X (Table 1).
The cDNA library was prepared following the protocols of the Illumina TruSeq RNA Sample Preparation Kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) and quantitated with KAPA Library Quantification Kits. Then, sequencing of RNA-seq was performed on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform with a 150 bp paired-end strategy. Finally, we generated 21.35 Gb paired-end raw reads and 20.95 Gb paired-end clean reads for gene structure annotation (Table 1).
de novo assembly of the T. bimaculatus genome
Reads from the three types of libraries were used in different assembly stages separately (Fig. 1). Illumina sequencing data, PacBio sequencing and Hi-C reads were used for the genome survey, contig assembly and chromosome-level scaffolding, respectively.
In the genome survey, paired reads with “N” sites exceeding 8 or low-quality (Q < 5) bases exceeding 60 were filtered out from the Illumina library. The pair reads containing the Illumina adaptor sequence were also filtered. Using Jellyfish7, the frequency of 17-mers in the Illumina clean data was calculated with a 1 bp sliding window using the established method8 and obeyed the theoretical Poisson distribution (Fig. S2). Finally, the proportion of heterozygosity in the T. bimaculatus genome was evaluated as 0.55%, and the genome size was estimated as 393.15 Mb, with a repeat content of 25.29% (Table S2).
Long reads generated from the PacBio SEQUEL platform were subsequently processed by a self-correction of errors using FALCON9. Based on the Overlap-Layout-Consensus algorithm, we detected overlaps from input reads and assembled the final String Graph10. Subsequently, we used the FALCON-unzip pipeline to generate phased contig sequences for further calling highly accurate consensus sequences using variantCaller in the GenomicConsensus package, which was employed as an arrow algorithm, and contigs were polished using Illumina reads by Pilon11. Finally, we obtained the assembled genome of T. bimaculatus, which contained including 2,193 contigs with a total length and contig N50 length of 404.21 Mb and 1.31 Mb, respectively (Table 2).
For chromosome-level scaffolding, we first filtered Hi-C reads with the same protocol as Illumina reads. Subsequently, we mapped the Hi-C clean reads to the de novo assembled contigs by using BWA12 (version 0.7.17) with the default parameters. We removed the reads that did not map within 500 bp of a restriction enzyme site. Using LACHESIS13 (version 2e27abb), we assembled chromosome-level scaffolding based on the genomic proximity signal in the Hi-C data sets. In this stage, all parameters were default except for CLUSTER_N, ORDER_MIN_N_RES_IN_SHREDS and CLUSTER_MIN_RE_SITES, which set as 22, 10 and 80, respectively. As a result, we generated 22 chromosome-level scaffolds containing 1,242 contigs (56.63% of all contigs) with a total length of 371.68 Mb (91.95% of the total length of all contigs), and the lengths of chromosomes ranged from 10.38 Mb to 28.86 Mb (Table 3).
Repeat sequences and gene annotation
We identified repeat sequences in the T. bimaculatus genome with a combination of homology-based and de novo approaches using previously established protocol14. For the homology-based approach, we used Tandem Repeats Finder15 (version 4.04) to detect tandem repeats and used RepeatModeler16 (version 3.2.9), LTR_FINDER17 (version 1.0.2) and RepeatScout18 (version 1.0.2) synchronously to detect repeat sequences in the T. bimaculatus genome. Combined with Repbase19 (Release 19.06), a repeat sequence library was constructed with these results using USEARCH20 (version 10.0.240). Then, we used RepeatMasker16 (version 3.2.9) to annotate repeat elements based on this library. In another approach, we utilized Repbase19 and a Perl script included in the RepeatProteinMasker (submodule in Repeatmasker) program with default parameters to detect TE proteins in the T. bimaculatus genome. Finally, after removing redundancies, we combined all the results generated by these methods, and a total of 109.92 Mb (27.2% in the T. bimaculatus genome) sequences were identified as repeat elements (Table 4). Among these repeat elements, long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs) were the main type, accounting for 12.31% (49.76 Mb). In addition, regarding other repeat elements, there were 24.46 Mb (6.05%) of DNA transposons, 1.19 Mb (0.29%) of short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs) and 31.55 Mb (7.8%) of long terminal repeats (LTRs) (Figs 2a and 3a Table 4).
For gene structure prediction, we used both homology-based and de novo strategies to predict genes in the T. bimaculatus genome. For homology-based prediction, we mapped the protein sequences of Oryzias latipes21, Gasterosteus aculeatus22, Tetraodon nigroviridis23, Takifugu rubripes24 and Oreochromis niloticus25 onto the generated assembly using BLAT26 (version 35) with an e-value ≤ 1e-5. Then, we used GeneWise27 (version 2.2.0) to align the homologous in the T. bimaculatus genome against the other five teleosts for gene structure prediction. In the de novo approach, we used several software packages, including Augustus28 (version 2.5.5), GlimmerHMM29 (version 3.0.1), SNAP30 (version 1.0), Geneid31 (version 1.4.4) and GenScan32 (version 1.0). In addition, we also used RNA-seq data (NCBI accession number: SRX5099972) to predict the structure of transcribed genes using TopHat33 (version 1.2) and Cufflinks34 (version 2.2.1). Using EvidenceModeler35 (version 1.1.0), we combined the set of predicted genes generated from the three approaches into a non-redundant gene set and then used PASA36(version 2.0.2) to annotate the gene structures. Finally, a total of 21,117 protein-coding genes were predicted and annotated, with an average exon number of 9.71 and an average CDS length of 1573.89 bp in each gene(Fig. 3b and Table 5). For the annotation of candidate non-coding RNA (ncRNA), we used BLASTN37 to align the T. bimaculatus genome against the Rfam database38 (version 12.0). As a result, we annotated 1,666 miRNA, 753 tRNA, 928 rRNA and 1162 snRNA genes (Fig. 2a and Table 4).
For gene function annotation, we used BLASTP to align the candidate sequences to the NCBI and Swissport protein databases with E values < 1 × 10−5. Then, we performed the functional classification of GO categories with the InterProScan program39 (version 5.26) and used KEGG Automatic Annotation Server (KAAS)40 to conduct the KEGG pathway annotation analysis. A total of 21,098 genes were successfully annotated, accounting for 99.9% of all predicted genes (Figs 2a, 3c and Table 5).
Technical Validation
Evaluating the completeness of the genome assembly and annotation
The final assembly contains 404.41 Mb with a scaffold N50 size of 16.79 Mb (Table 2). Assembly completeness and accuracy were evaluated by multiple methods. First, reads from the short-insert library were re-mapped onto the assembled genome using BWA12 (version 0.7.17). A total of 96.97% of the reads mapped to a reference sequence in the genome (98.71% coverage), demonstrating a high assembly accuracy (Table S3). We used Genome Analysis Toolkit43 (GATK) (version 4.0.2.1) to identify a total of 1,115.45 SNPs throughout the whole genome, including 1,110.69 K heterozygous SNPs and 4,765 homozygous SNPs (Table S4). In addition, the accuracy of the assembly was verified by the extremely low proportion of homozygous SNPs (1.22 × 10−5%) (Table S4).
Assembly completeness was evaluated using Core Eukaryotic Genes Map** Approach (CEGMA) software44 (version 2.3), and a total of 235 core Eukaryotic Genes (CEGs) from the complete set of 248 CEGs (94.67%) were identified in the assembled genome, suggesting the draft genome of T. bimaculatus was high complete (Table S4). Finally, Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologues (BUSCO) software45 (version 1.22) was used to evaluate the completeness of the assembly with the actinopterygii_odb9 database. A total of 4,254 out of the 4,584 searched BUSCO groups (92.8%) had been completely assembled in our draft genome, suggesting a high level of completeness of the de novo assembly (Table S3).
To verify the accuracy of the contig arrangement in 22 chromosomes, we aligned 7,443 (count) 1 K bp small fragments with 50 K bp spacing as anchors of the assembled genome against the published T. rubripes genome (FUGU5)24,46 to compare consistency between these two genomes. The 22 chromosomes we identified in the T. bimaculatus genome aligned exactly against the chromosomes of the T. rubripes, suggesting high continuity with the T. rubripes genome (Fig. 2b).
The predicted gene models we used were integrated by EvidenceModeler, and a total of 18,706 genes were predicted by all three gene structure prediction strategies, which representing 88.58% of the 21,117 predicted genes (Fig. 3b). Notably, this validation procedure is limited by the gene expression in the mixture of tissues used for RNA-Seq. Therefore, considering that transcriptomic data derived from different tissues will cover distinct sets of expressed genes, it is conceivable that more genes could be validated.
Gene family identification and phylogenetic analysis of T. bimaculatus
To identify gene families among T. bimaculatus and other species, we download the protein sequence of Branchiostoma belcheri47(outgroup), Ciona intestinalis48 (outgroup), Danio rerio49, Gadus morhua50, Gasterosteus aculeatus22, Latimeria chalumnae51, Lepisoteus oculatus52, Mola mola53, Oryzias latipes21, Oreochromis niloticus25, Takifugu rubripes24 and Tetraodon nigroviridis23. We removed those protein sequences shorter than 30 amino acids in the proteome set of the above thirteen species and used OrthoMCL54 to construct gene families. A total of 20,741 OrthoMCL families were built using the previously all-to-all BLASTP strategy55.
To reveal the phylogenetic relationships among T. bimaculatus and other species, we identified 1,479 single copy ortholog families from the 13 species (as described above) (Table S5) and aligned the protein sequences of these 1,497 orthologues using MUSCLE (version 3.8.31)56. Then we used Gblocks57 to extract the well-aligned regions of each gene family alignment and converted protein alignments to the corresponding coding DNA sequence alignments using an in-house script. For each species, we combined all translated coding DNA sequences to a “supergene”. Finally, we used RAxML (version 8.2.12)58 with 500 bootstrap replicates to generate trees. Using molecular clock data from the TimeTree database59, MCMCTREE (PAML package)60 were employed to estimate the divergence time based on the approximate likelihood calculation method. The phylogenetic relationships among the other fish species were consistent with several previous studies8,14,61. Based on the phylogenetic analysis, we inferred that T. bimaculatus speciated approximately 9.1 million years ago from the common ancestor of Takifugu (Fig. 4).
