Northern snakehead, Channa argus ( C. argus ), is an important economic and ecological fish species. The wild population of the species was sharply declined in the last decade. A high-quality reference genome could lay a solid foundation for the genetic and conservation studies for C. argus . In this work, we report a chromosomal genome assembly with PacBio and Hi-C technology using the albino northern snakehead, a color varie...
