Chironomids are one of the most abundant aquatic insects and are widely distributed in various biological communities. However, the lack of high-quality genomes has hindered our ability to study the evolution and ecology of this group. Here, we used Nanopore long reads and Hi-C data to produce two chromosome-level genomes from mixed genomic data. The genomes of Smittia aterrima (SateA) and Smittia pratorum (SateB) were assembled into three chromosomes, with sizes of 78.45 Mb and 71.56 Mb, scaffold N50 lengths of 25.73 and 23.53 Mb, and BUSCO completeness of 98.5% and 97.8% (n = 1,367), 5.68 Mb (7.24%) and 1.94 Mb (2.72%) of repetitive elements, and predicted 12,330 (97.70% BUSCO completeness) and 11,250 (97.40%) protein-coding genes, respectively. These high-quality genomes will serve as valuable resources for comprehending the evolution and environmental adaptation of chironomids.

The barbel chub Squaliobarbus curriculus, is an economically important freshwater fish in China. The fishery production of the wild populations has declined dramatically, making the development of aquaculture urgently needed. However, the lack of high-quality genome has impeded its artificial breeding and genetic breeding.

As molecular research on hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) continues to advance, there is a growing need for the accumulation of more diverse genome data and more accurate genome assemblies. In this study, we report the three-way assembly data of a cannabidiol (CBD)-rich cannabis variety, 'Pink Pepper' cultivar using sequencing technology: PacBio Single Molecule Real-Time (SMRT) technology, Illumina sequencing technology, and Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT).
