Reaumuria soongarica is a xerophytic shrub belonging to the Tamaricaceae family. The species is widely distributed in the deserts of Central Asia and is characterized by its remarkable adaptability to saline and barren desert environments. Using PacBio long-read sequencing and Hi-C technologies, we assembled a chromosome-level genome of R. soongarica. The genome assembly has a size of 1.28 Gb with a scaffold N50 of 116.15 Mb, and approximately 1.25 Gb sequences were anchored in 11 pseudo-chromosomes. A completeness assessment of the assembled genome revealed a BUSCO score of 97.5% and an LTR Assembly Index of 12.37. R. soongarica genome had approximately 60.07% repeat sequences. In total, 21,791 protein-coding genes were predicted, of which 95.64% were functionally annotated. This high-quality genome will serve as a foundation for studying the genomic evolution and adaptive mechanisms to arid-saline environments in R. soongarica, facilitating the exploration and utilization of its unique genetic resources.

The evolutionary origins of specialized organs pose significant challenges for empirical studies, as most such organs evolved millions of years ago. The Northern snakehead (Channa argus), an air-breathing fish, possesses a suprabranchial organ, a common feature of the Anabantoidei, offering a unique opportunity to investigate the function and evolutionary origins of specialized organs. In this study, a high-quality chromosome-level reference genome of C.
