Description: Gymnocypris eckloni is widely distributed in isolated lakes and the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and is very well adapted to the aqueous environments of the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau (QTP). Here, we report the chromosome-level genome for G. eckloni, representing the first genome for the highly specialized schizothoracine fish. The final genome was assembled into 918.68 Mb sequences using PacBio long-read and Illumina short-read sequences, including 711 scaffolds, with a contig N50 lenth of 4.19 Mb and a scaffold N50 length of 43.54 Mb. The assembled sequences were further anchored and orientated onto 23 pseudo-chromosomes. In total, 23,157 genes were annotated, representing 94.80 % of the total predicted protein-coding genes.
