Abstract Genomic resources for Tor species are currently limited, and their molecular systematics remain poorly resolved. In this study, we report the first chromosome-level genome assembly of Tor sinensis, generated using PacBio long-read sequencing and Hi-C scaffolding. The final genome assembly spans approximately 1.80 Gb and consists of 228 contigs, with a contig N50 of 31.67 Mb. A total of 97 contigs were successfully anchored and ordered into 50 chromosomes, covering 96.57% of the genome.
