N2 - The Bicolor Angelfish, Centropyge bicolor, is a tropical coral reef fish. It is named for its striking two-color body. However, a lack of high-quality genomic data means little is known about the genome of this species. Here, we present a chromosome-level C. bicolor genome constructed using Hi-C data. The assembled genome is 650 Mbp in size, with a scaffold N50 value of 4.4 Mbp, and a contig N50 value of 114 Kbp. Protein-coding genes numbering 21,774 were annotated. Our analysis will help others to choose the most appropriate de novo genome sequencing strategy based on resources and target applications. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first chromosome-level genome for the Pomacanthidae family, which might contribute to further studies exploring coral reef fish evolution, diversity and conservation.
