Popis: Abstract Single gamete cell sequencing together with long-read sequencing can reliably produce chromosome-level phased genomes. In this study, we employed PacBio HiFi and Hi-C sequencing on a male Landrace pig, coupled with single-sperm sequencing of its 102 sperm cells. A haplotype assembly method was developed based on long-read sequencing and sperm-phased markers. The chromosome-level phased assembly showed higher phasing accuracy than methods that rely only on HiFi reads. The use of single-sperm sequencing data enabled the construction of a genetic map, successfully mapping the sperm motility trait to a specific region on chromosome 1 (105.40–110.70 Mb). Furthermore, with the assistance of Y chromosome-bearing sperm data, 26.16 Mb Y chromosome sequences were assembled. We report a reliable approach for assembling chromosome-level phased genomes and reveal the potential of sperm population in basic biology research and sperm phenotype research.
