<h4>Background</h4>Tandemly repeated satellite DNAs (satDNAs) are among the most copious sequences of eukaryotic genomes. They often reside in centromeric regions, but their diversity among different organisms obscures the properties that centromere-competent satDNAs should possess.<h4>Results</h4>Here, we …
Read PDFParupeneus biaculeatus, also known as pointed goatfish, belongs to the family Mullidae and is distinguished by its unique hyoid barbels containing sensory organs and a specialized foraging strategy, setting it apart from other fish species …
Read PDFFood security remains a pressing global challenge, particularly for staple crops like rice. The traditional Yunnan landrace rice variety Mowanggu (MWG) exhibits broad-spectrum and durable resistance to Magnaporthe oryzae, the causal agent of destructive rice …
Read PDFCultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) belongs to the family Rosaceae and is an allo-octoploid species (2n = 8× = 56). Using PacBio Revio long reads of 'Seolhyang', we completed telomere-to-telomere phased genome assemblies with a …
Read PDFThe construction of accurate whole genome sequences is pivotal for characterizing the genetic diversity of plant species, identifying genes controlling important traits, or understanding their evolutionary dynamics. Here, we generated the nuclear, mitochondrial, and chloroplast …
Read PDFApios americana and Apios priceana are tuber-forming legumes native to North America with ecological value and agricultural potential. The lack of genomic resources has limited comparative studies and crop improvement for these species. Here, we …
Read PDFThe mudsnail, Bullacta exarata, is an important marine food mollusk for both economic and aquaculture purposes. However, the scarcity of genomic information has hindered genetic research and breeding efforts. To address this gap, we developed …
Read PDFThe Small snakehead (Channa asiatica) is an economically important species in both aquaculture and ornamental trade, mainly distributed in South China and Southeast Asia. Despite its significance, limited genomic resources have impeded in-depth genetic studies …
Read PDFHippophae salicifolia, a dioecious small tree species endemic to the Himalayan region, holds great potential in both ecological conservation and industrial applications. In this study, we employed PacBio HiFi long reads, Illumina short reads, and …
Read PDFCurrent advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology and assembling programs permit construct chromosome-level genome assemblies in various plants. In contrast to resequencing, the genome sequences provide comprehensive annotation data useful for plant genetics and breeding. …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Lizards have sex determination systems that can differ between even closely related species. These include XY and ZW systems, and thermolabile systems where genes and temperature interact to determine sex. The eastern three-lined skink (Bassiana …
Read PDFGenomic medicine relies on single reference genomes that miss crucial genetic diversity, creating diagnostic gaps that disproportionately affect underrepresented populations. Pangenome graphs, collections of diverse genomes represented as interconnected genetic paths, offer a powerful alternative …
Read PDFZoonotic <i>Onchocerca lupi</i> (Spirurida, Onchocercidae) has attracted the interest of the scientific community worldwide, by causing severe ocular infections in domestic animals (dogs, cats) and can infect wild carnivores (wolves, coyotes), as well as humans. …
Read PDFCultivar Désirée is an important model for potato functional genomics studies to assist breeding strategies. Here, we present a haplotype-resolved genome assembly of Désirée, achieved by assembling PacBio HiFi reads and Hi-C scaffolding, resulting in …
Read PDFWhole bacterial genome sequence reconstruction using Oxford Nanopore Technologies ('Nanopore') long-read-only sequencing may offer a lower-cost, higher-throughput alternative for pathogen surveillance to 'hybrid' assembly with recent improvements in Nanopore sequencing accuracy. We evaluated the accuracy, …
Read PDFAcremonium chrysogenum is a notable filamentous fungus recognized for its essential contribution to the pharmaceutical sector through the biosynthesis of cephalosporin C (CPC). CPC functions as a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of β-lactam antibiotics, …
Read PDF<h4>Motivation</h4>De novo assembly creates reference genomes that underpin many modern biodiversity and conservation studies. Large numbers of new genomes are being assembled by labs around the world. To avoid duplication of efforts and variable data …
Read PDFXylocopinae, a diverse bee subfamily comprising over 1,000 bee species, and also a major model system for studying the pollination and evolution of sociality. The lack of chromosome-level genome assembly resources for the Xylocopinae limits …
Read PDF<i>Pediococcus pentosaceus</i> was isolated from a Holstein Friesian dairy cattle from a conventionally operated farm. The complete genome of strain <i>P. pentosaceus</i> 13.7 2A-1 comprises 1.84 Mbp and 1,746 protein-coding sequences. The decoded genome sequence …
Read PDFGenomic-level studies on the adaptive evolution of animals in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have been rapidly increasing. However, most studies are concentrated on vertebrates, and there are few reports on invertebrates. Here, we report the chromosome-level …
