We present LT1, the first high-quality human reference genome from the Baltic States. LT1 is a female de novo human reference genome assembly, constructed using 57× nanopore long reads and polished using 47× short paired-end reads. We utilized 72 GB of Hi-C chromosomal mapping data for scaffolding, to maximize assembly contiguity and accuracy. The contig assembly of LT1 was 2.73 Gbp in length, comprising 4490 contigs with an NG50 value of 12.0 Mbp. After scaffolding with Hi-C data and manual curation, the final assembly has an NG50 value of 137 Mbp and 4699 scaffolds. Assessment of gene prediction quality using Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs (BUSCO) identified 89.3% of the single-copy orthologous genes included in the benchmark. Detailed characterization of LT1 suggests it has 73,744 predicted transcripts, 4.2 million autosomal SNPs, 974,616 short indels, and 12,079 large structural variants. These data may be used as a benchmark for further in-depth genomic analyses of Baltic populations.
