BACKGROUND: To conduct long-read sequencing (LRS) testing for molecular diagnosis of CAH-X syndrome. This study collected clinical data and evaluated the phenotypes of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) in 20 cases of 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) children and …
Read PDFThe vetch aphid, Megoura crassicauda is a globally distributed, major agricultural pest of beans and other leguminous crops, causing significant economic losses yearly. Its rapid reproductive rate and capacity to develop resistance to diverse pesticides …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Phlebotomus chinensis is the primary vector of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in China. However, the lack of a high-quality genome assembly for this species has limited research on its biology, vector-pathogen interactions, and evolutionary adaptations. To …
Read PDFPrasinophytes are a globally distributed, diverse polyphyletic group of photosynthetic green algae, displaying a combination of presumably ancestral traits for the Chloroplastida. The Nephroselmidophyceae is a prasinophyte clade comprising small biflagellate algae that includes the …
Read PDFThe genus Cercis L., at the base of the subfamily Cercidoideae of Fabaceae, is known for its ecological adaptability and significant medicinal, ornamental, and economic value. However, the lack of a high-quality genome hinders the …
Read PDFStream-dwelling fishes face diverse hydrological pressures, making the broadly distributed <i>Opsariichthys bidens</i> an ideal model for analyzing adaptive evolution. To elucidate its adaptation to a high-dissolved-oxygen and high-flow-velocity stream environment, a high-quality genome with comprehensive …
Read PDF<h4>Motivation</h4>Long-read sequencing enables complete bacterial genome assemblies, but individual assemblers are imperfect and often produce sequence-level and structural errors. Consensus assembly using Trycycler can improve accuracy, but its lack of automation limits scalability. There is …
Read PDFPear (Pyrus L) is one of the most significant fruit crops globally, recognized for its substantial economic value and potential health benefits. 'Danxiahong' is an elite pear cultivar in the north of China, characterized by …
Read PDFThe Ural owl (Strix uralensis) is a large member of the Strigidae family and inhabits Eurasian forests from Germany to Japan. However, it faces increased range reduction, particularly at its southwestern distribution edges. Despite being …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Skinks (Scincidae) are one of the most diverse and ecologically versatile lizard families, making them key models for studying major evolutionary transitions including viviparity, limb reduction, and shifts between modes of sex determination. Despite their …
Read PDFAcropora corals, primary reef-builders providing habitat for numerous marine species, now face novel survival pressures due to environmental changes. Acropora intermedia (Brook 1891), a significant contributor to the vibrant ecosystems of coral reefs in the …
Read PDFIndrella ampulla is a polymorphic, brightly colored, forest-dwelling land snail endemic to the Western Ghats of India. Studying and understanding evolutionary processes occurring within this species has remained a challenge largely due to a paucity …
Read PDFK-mer counts are fundamental in many genomic data analysis tasks, providing valuable information for genome assembly, error correction, and variant detection. State-of-the-art k-mer counting tools employ various techniques, such as parallelism, probabilistic data structures, and …
Read PDFYeast is commonly utilized in molecular and cell biology research, and <i>Yarrowia lipolytica</i> is favored by bioengineers due to its ability to produce copious amounts of lipids, chemicals, and enzymes for industrial applications. <i>Y. lipolytica</i> …
Read PDFEocanthecona furcellata (Wolff, 1811) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae: Asopinae), a predatory stinkbug, preys on diverse notorious insect pests, positioning it as a critical biocontrol agent in agricultural and forestry ecosystems with substantial regional application and promotion potential. …
Read PDFThe dune cricket Schizodactylus jimo (Orthoptera: Schizodactylidae) is a unique insect because of its folded forward wings. Despite its captivating wing morphology and potential bionic significance, the genomic basis underlying the evolutionary and ecological significance …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Repetitive elements constitute nearly 50% of mammalian genomes; however, their roles in adaptive evolution remain poorly understood. Their identification and assembly, particularly for tandem repeats, are technically challenging, leading to their frequent omission from downstream …
Read PDFWe present a chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation of the hamour, or orange-spotted grouper ( <i>Epinephelus coioides</i>), a high-value and significant teleost fish species across West Indo-Pacific regions of the Middle East, South Africa, and …
Read PDFMarbled flounder (Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae) is becoming a commercially important flatfish species in Northeast Asia due to its strong environmental adaptability and excellent nutritional value. However, no high-quality marbled flounder reference genome was reported to date, …
