Ancherythroculter nigrocaudais a cyprinid fish endemic of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in China, where it is an important aquaculture and commercial species. It is also a threatened species as a result of overfishing, dam construction and water pollution. In this study, a chromosome‐level genome assembly ofA. nigrocaudais reported and built using PacBio sequencing and the Hi‐C technology. The 1.04‐Gb sequenced genome ofA. nigrocaudacontained 2,403 contigs, with an N50 length of 3.12 Mb. Then, 1,297 contigs, which represented 54.0% of all contigs and 97.2% of the whole content of the genome nucleotide base, were assembled into 24 chromosomes. Combined with transcriptome data from 10 tissues, 27,042 (78.5%) genes were functionally annotated out of 34,414 predicted protein‐coding genes. Interestingly, high expression of many positively selected genes and expanded gene families in the brain suggested that these genes might play important roles in brain development inA. nigrocauda. Finally, we found tissue‐specific expression of 10,732 genes. Functional analyses showed that they were mainly composed of genes related to (a) environmental information processing, (b) the circulatory system, and (c) development, suggesting they might be important for adaptation to different environments and for development ofA. nigrocauda. The high‐quality genome obtained in this study not only provides a valuable genomic resource for future studies ofA. nigrocaudapopulations and conservation, but is also an important resource for further functional genomics studies of fishes.
