A reference genome for Bluegill Sunfish (Centrarchidae: Lepomis macrochirus)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
North American sunfishes (Family Centrarchidae) are among the most popular sportfish throughout the United States and Canada. Despite the popularity of sunfishes, their ecological importance, and their extensive stocking and aquacultural history, few molecular studies have examined the evolutionary relationships and species limits among members of this group, many of which are known to hybridize. Here, we describe a chromosome-scale, genome assembly representing Bluegill Sunfish (<em>Lepomis macrochirus</em>), one of the most widespread centrarchid species. By combining long-read, Oxford Nanopore sequencing data with short-insert, whole genome and HiC sequence reads, we produced an assembly (Lm_LA_1.0) having a total length of 889 MBP including 1,841 scaffolds and having a scaffold N50 of 36 MBP, L50 of 12, N90 of 29 MBP, and L90 of 22. BUSCO analyses indicated that Lm_LA_1.0 was relatively complete with 99% (eukaryota_odb10) and 98% (actinopterygii_odb10) BUSCOs detected, and <em>ab initio</em>gene prediction performed using this new assembly identified a set of 15,873 genes that were supported by external data. This new assembly provides an important addition to the growing set of assemblies already available for spiny-rayed fishes (Acanthomorpha), and it will serve as a resource for future studies that focus on the complex evolutionary history of centrarchids.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
