A chromosome-level genome assembly of Bohadschia ocellata, a member of the Holothuriidae family, was constructed through the integration of MGI DNBSEQ-T7 short-read sequencing, PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing, and Hi-C genomic scaffolding technology. After optimization to …
Read PDFBy the integration of MGI short-read sequencing, PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing, and Hi-C techniques, we constructed a chromosome-scale genome assembly for Holothuria fuscocinerea, a highly abundant and widely distributed sea cucumber species in the family …
Read PDFRiccia sorocarpa Bisch., commonly known as common crystalwort, is a plant belonging to the Marchantiales order with a cosmopolitan distribution among a wide range of habitats: fields, gardens, waste ground, on paths, cliff tops, and …
Read PDFPhlomoides rotata (Duyiwei), a threatened Tibetan medicinal plant with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, has an understudied genome. We generated a chromosome-level assembly of its 4.12 Gb genome using Oxford Nanopore, PacBio HiFi, Illumina, and Hi-C …
Read PDFMalaria, a tropical disease caused by Plasmodium and transmitted by Anopheles, remains a public health concern in Brazil. While most cases occur in the Amazon, transmission persists in the Atlantic Forest, where Anopheles mosquitoes of …
Read PDF<h4>Introduction</h4>Hypervirulent <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> (hvKp) of the K1/ST23 lineage is an emerging global threat associated with invasive community-acquired infections. Increasing reports of virulence-resistance convergence highlight the need for genomic surveillance, particularly within Europe where data remain …
Read PDFReference genomes are key resources in biodiversity conservation. Yet, sequencing efforts are not evenly distributed across the tree of life raising concerns over our ability to enlighten conservation with genomic data. Good-quality reference genomes remain …
Read PDFThe Asian houbara bustard (<i>Chlamydotis macqueenii</i>) is a vulnerable species supported by conservation breeding programs internationally, as well as in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Infectious diseases caused by antimicrobial-resistant pathogens represent an emerging threat …
Read PDFThe California vole (Microtus californicus) is a small cricetid rodent and one of the 20 species of Microtus in North America and 60 worldwide. Several subspecies are listed as being of conservation concern in California, …
Read PDFWe determined that the dengue outbreak in São Tomé and Príncipe during 2022 was caused by dengue virus serotype 3 genotype III. Phylogenomic analyses showed that the outbreak strain was closely related to the newly …
Read PDFThe red-legged partridge ( <i>Alectoris rufa</i>) is a socio-economically important game bird in southern Europe. Despite previous efforts, achieving a high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly has remained challenging. Here, we present a <i>de novo</i> phased, gapless …
Read PDF<b>Introduction</b>: In recent years, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) rates have increased significantly in bacterial pathogens, particularly extended beta-lactam resistance. This study aimed to investigate resistome and phylogenomics of <i>Escherichia coli</i> (<i>E. coli</i>) strains isolated from various …
Read PDFCoronaviruses rapidly evolve and are prone to new virus emergence. Human coronavirus (HCoV)-229E is one of the seven coronaviruses (aside HCoV-OC43, HCoV-HKU1, HCoV-NL63, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2) causing respiratory infections in humans. Genomic data are very …
Read PDF<i>Phytophthoracryptogea</i> Pethybr. & Laff. and <i>P.erythroseptica</i> Pethybr. are oomycetes that cause root rot diseases of multiple plant species, including serious diseases of potato. These two species of <i>Phytophthora</i> were originally reported in Ireland more than …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>The emergence of mobile colistin resistance determinants in clinically relevant Acinetobacter species poses a growing challenge to antimicrobial stewardship and One Health surveillance. Although <i>mcr-4.3</i> has been reported in <i>Acinetobacter</i>, its occurrence in imported food …
Read PDFHere, we present a dataset of ITS and β-tubulin sequences, along with a phylogenetic analysis using these molecular markers, for six putative <i>Fusarium</i> strains isolated from blackberry field soil. Additionally, we report the sequencing and …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is an autosomal dominant muscular disorder characterized by asymmetric muscle wasting and weakness. FSHD can be subdivided into two types: FSHD1, caused by contraction of the D4Z4 repeat on chromosome 4q35, …
Read PDFVancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are nosocomial pathogens with genetic plasticity and widespread antimicrobial resistance (AMR). To prevent the spread of VRE in the hospital setting, molecular epidemiological approaches such as pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and multilocus sequence …
Read PDFAntimalarial drug resistance has become a real public health problem despite WHO measures. New sequencing technologies make it possible to investigate genomic variations associated with resistant phenotypes at the genome-wide scale. Based on the use …
