The Laudakia wui, also known as Wui's rock agama, is a species of agamid lizard endemic to Xizang, China, and is distributed within the Yarlung Zangbo River basin in the Nyingchi city. In order to better understand its ecology, population dynamics, and conservation requirements, we have generated a high-quality chromosome-scale genome with genome size of 1.78 Gb (scaffold N50 = 195.02 Mb), and a BUSCO score of 93.2%. We also identified 20,805 protein-coding genes with gene annotation complete BUSCO were 95.7%, of which 96.23% were functionally annotated. In summary, this genomic information of L. wui is crucial for uncovering its unique evolutionary adaptations and understanding its role in the ecosystem, and is essential for developing targeted conservation strategies and managing biodiversity in this ecologically sensitive region.
吴氏岩蜥，又称吴氏岩鬣蜥，是一种分布于中国西藏的鬣蜥科蜥蜴，分布于林芝市雅鲁藏布江流域。为了更好地了解其生态、种群动态和保护需求，我们生成了一个高质量的染色体级基因组，基因组大小为1.78 Gb（支架N50 = 195.02 Mb），BUSCO评分93.2%。我们还鉴定出20,805个蛋白质编码基因，基因注释完整的BUSCO为95.7%，其中96.23%具有功能注释。总之，吴氏岩蜥的这些基因组信息对于揭示其独特的进化适应性、理解其在生态系统中的作用至关重要，对于制定针对性的保护策略以及管理这一生态敏感地区的生物多样性也必不可少。
