Abstract
Background: Snakes are one of the most important wildlife resources and are widely distributed. Bungarus multicinctus is a highly venomous snake and is distributed in central and southern China. In recent years, venomous snake bites have gradually increased. Genomic resources are significant for understanding the evolution of a specie and the molecular mechanisms of toxin production.
Find: Here we present a highly- continuous genome assembly of B. multicinctus . The genome size of B. multicinctus is 1.51Gb. The maximal length of scaffold is 39.68M and the N50 length is 6.55M. The B. multicinctus has a GC content of 37.8%.
