As members of the Tenuipalpidae family, Brevipalpus mites have emerged as significant research subjects in agriculture and horticulture due to their polyphagous nature, high reproductive potential, and ability to transmit plant viruses. However, the evolutionary …
Read PDFThe wrentit (Chamaea fasciata) is a chaparral and scrub specialist bird found from coastal Oregon to northern Baja California. We generated a draft reference assembly for the species using PacBio HiFi long read and Omni-C …
Read PDFThe white-spotted sawyer, Monochamus scutellatus (Say) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), is an important vector of pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner and Buhrer) Nickle, in North America. While Monochamus species from the Palearctic region have been extensively …
Read PDFThe argan tree (Argania spinosa), endemic to Morocco, holds major ecological and economic value. We generated a high-quality, chromosome-scale, phased reference genome using PacBio HiFi long reads and Hi-C scaffolding. The assembly resolves two haplotypes, …
Read PDFOBJECTIVES: Cladosporium tenuissimum, a widespread filamentous fungus belonging to the C. cladosporioides species complex, has been identified as a causal agent of sooty spot disease on postharvest fig fruits. Despite its ecological and agricultural importance, …
Read PDFSika deer (<i>Cervus nippon</i>) is naturally distributed across East Asia and includes 14 subspecies, showing phenotypic and genetic diversity. In this study, we constructed a de novo genome assembly of wild sika deer using one …
Read PDFButternut squash (Cucurbita moschata) is an economically important crop; however, its genetic improvement has been hindered by the lack of high-resolution genomic resources and limited germplasm availability. In this study, we present a gap-free, telomere-to-telomere …
Read PDFOphiorrhiza japonica, a medicinal plant of Rubiaceae, has been selected as a model plant for the study of MIA biosynthesis and regulation, as well as a sustainable source of camptothecin. Here, we performed an assembly …
Read PDFFontitrygon garouaensis (Smooth Freshwater Stingray) is an evolutionarily distinct and globally endangered species and is currently the only stingray known to be strictly adapted to African freshwater systems. Lack of a reference genome has limited …
Read PDFThe casuarina moth, Lymantria xylina, is a serious pest threatening subtropical regions through severe defoliation and strong invasive potential. Despite its economic impact and high invasion risk, a high-quality reference genome remains lacking. To bridge …
Read PDFMethicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA) remains a major global public health concern due to its multidrug resistance, extensive genome plasticity, and rapid evolutionary adaptability. In this study, 50 clinical MRSA isolates were screened using antimicrobial susceptibility …
Read PDFCyperus difformis is a globally problematic weed in rice fields, posing a significant threat to rice yield. While chemical herbicides are commonly used for its control, the species often escapes management due to its rapid …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Ticks are obligate blood-feeding parasites associated with a huge diversity of diseases globally. The hard tick Ixodes ricinus is the key vector of Lyme borreliosis and tick-borne encephalitis in Western Eurasia. Ixodes ticks have large …
Read PDFBACKGROUND: The soil-dwelling Rhabdocoela flatworm, Luticola nematophagus, recently identified as a specialized predator of plant-parasitic nematodes such as Meloidogyne incognita, demonstrates considerable potential as a biocontrol agent for agricultural nematode diseases. This study presents the …
Read PDFThe giant pangasius (Pangasius sanitwongsei) is a critically endangered freshwater species with considerable ecological and economic significance in Southeast Asia and southern China. However, the lack of a high-quality reference genome has limited studies on …
Read PDFThe Schizodactylidae family, an ancient lineage within Orthoptera, is ideal for studying adaptive evolution due to its sand-dwelling habits and unique tarsi, but genomic data scarcity has hindered research. To fill this knowledge gap, this …
Read PDFUnderstanding the genomic architecture of species of conservation concern is essential for fostering effective conservation initiatives. Current biodiversity assessment approaches increasingly incorporate genetic metrics to evaluate the status of species and populations of conservation interest. …
Read PDFBumblebees (Bombus) are considered to be essential pollinators of a wide range of flowering plants, within both agricultural and natural ecosystems. Bombus pauloensis and Bombus pullatus are 2 closely related Neotropical species with a wide …
Read PDFWe report the whole-genome sequence of the <i>B. abortus</i> strain "Y11_MNG" isolated from Mongolia. The MinION platform was used for sequencing and draft assembly composed of six contigs with a length of 3,274,836 bp. Assembly …
Read PDFWe report the draft genome sequence of <i>Scenedesmus bijugus var. obtusiusculus</i> AT-UAM, a CO<sub>2</sub>-tolerant and lipid-producing microalga isolated from Cuatro Ciénegas, México. The strain shows potential for biotechnological applications due to its adaptability and high …
