Nanopore sequencing of 2 μg of gDNA was prepared using an NEB Next FFPE DNA Repair Mix kit (New England Biolabs) and subsequently processed using the ONT Template prep kit (Oxford Nanopore Technologies). The large segment library was premixed with loading beads and then pipetted onto a previously used and washed R9 flow cell. The library was sequenced on the ONT PromethION platform with the Corresponding R9 cell and ONT sequencing reagents kit (EXP-FLP001.PRO.6; Oxford Nanopore Technologies). The genome was assembled based on three ways: initial wtdbg2 (Ruan and Li, 2020 (link)) assembly and then SMARTdenovo assembly (Liu et al., 2021 (link)), followed by error correction using racon (Vaser et al., 2017 (link)) software and adjustment by Pilon (Walker et al., 2014 (link)) software. The assembly results were evaluated by the ratio of sequencing reads, Core Eukaryotic Genes Mapping Approach (CEGMA; Parra et al., 2007 (link)), and Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs (BUSCO; Simão et al., 2015 (link)).
