The concept of pan-genome, which is the collection of all genomes from a population, has shown a great potential in genomics study, especially for crop sciences. The rice pan-genome constructed from the second-generation sequencing (SGS) …
Read PDFDilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common cause of heart failure (HF) and is of familial origin in 20−40% of cases. Genetic testing by next-generation sequencing (NGS) has yielded a definite diagnosis in many cases; however, …
Read PDFMegoura crassicauda (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a major pest species that inflicts significant damage on various legume crops worldwide, causing substantial global economic losses. In this study, we present a chromosome-scale genome assembly of M. crassicauda. …
Read PDFMeretrix is a commercially valuable bivalve genus in Asia, but only one reference genome has hindered comprehensive genetic studies and germplasm resource evaluation. In this study, we present three reference genomes of Meretrix species: Meretrix …
Read PDFWhile the size of chromosomes can be measured under a microscope, obtaining the exact size of a genome remains a challenge. Biochemical methods and k-mer distribution-based approaches allow only estimations. An alternative approach to estimate …
Read PDFGoosegrass, belonging to the genus Eleusine within the Chloridoideae subfamily, is often one of the problematic weeds with strong invasiveness, competing with crops for essential survival resources. Although a chromosome-level genome assembly of E. indica …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Apicomplexan parasite, Babesia rossi, is an Ixodid tick-transmitted pathogen that causes the most severe form of canine babesiosis disease. Compared to other Babesia pathogens of dogs, B. rossi exhibits unique pathophysiology, virulence, and a responsiveness …
Read PDFX-ray tetra (Pristella maxillaris) originates from the lower Amazon basin in South America. It is renowned for its strikingly transparent body, which has drawn significant interests in biomedical research and the world ornamental fish industry. …
Read PDFGryllus assimilis, commonly known as Jamaican field cricket, is an edible insect with significant economic value in sustainable food production. Despite its importance, a high-quality reference genome of G. assimilis has not yet been published. …
Read PDFBlack carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) is one of the "four famous domestic fishes" in China and an important economic fish in freshwater aquaculture. A high-quality genome is essential for advancing future biological research and breeding programs …
Read PDFGlass catfish (Kryptopterus vitreolus) is commonly distributed in several Asian countries, such as Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. It is renowned for its near-transparent appearance, which has drawn considerable attention for biomedical research and the tropical …
Read PDFPitaya, (Selenicereus spp.), a fruit originating from North and Central America and extensively cultivated in China and Vietnam, holds significant economic value. Utilizing PacBio HiFi sequencing and Oxford Nanopore Technologies ultra-long sequencing, aided by Hi-C …
Read PDF<h4>Summary</h4>Viral genome sequencing and analysis are crucial for understanding the diversity and evolution of viruses. Traditional Sanger sequencing is limited by low sequence depth and is labor intensive. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) methods, such as Illumina, …
Read PDFThe filarioid nematode <i>Dirofilaria immitis</i> is the causative agent of heartworm disease, a major parasitic infection of canids, felids and occasionally humans. Current prevention relies on macrocyclic lactone-based chemoprophylaxis, but the emergence of drug resistance …
Read PDFCoral reefs are among the most biodiverse and economically significant ecosystems globally, yet they are increasingly degrading due to global climate change and local human activities. The sun coral Tubastraea coccinea (T. coccinea) an obligate …
Read PDF<h4>Motivation</h4>Large sequencing datasets are being produced and deposited into public archives at unprecedented rates. The availability of tools that can reliably and efficiently generate and store sequencing read summary statistics has become critical.<h4>Results</h4>As part of …
Read PDFAs a cornerstone of the global chocolate industry, cacao cultivation supports millions of livelihoods. The modern hybrid variety CCN51 is the most widely planted cultivar in Latin America, valued for its exceptional yield, broad disease …
Read PDFBrucellosis is a globally prevalent zoonotic disease caused by <i>Brucella</i> species, posing a significant threat to both public health and the livestock industry. Despite ongoing research efforts, the mechanisms underlying <i>Brucella</i> pathogenesis remain poorly understood, …
Read PDFThe silver-lipped pearl oyster (Pinctada maxima) is a valuable tropical aquaculture species, playing a crucial economic role in the global pearl industry. However, the lack of genomic reference limits our in-depth understanding of this species …
Read PDFBACKGROUND: The Vespa lineage of hornets demonstrate the potential to displace native species and cause significant damage to US apiculture through predation. In spite of introductions in recent years to North America, eradication efforts have …
