A haplotype-resolved gap-free chromosome assembly of the threatened plant Paradombeya sinensis
Paradombeya sinensis is an ecologically and phylogenetically valuable tree species endemic to southwestern China, yet its genomic resources remain underdeveloped. Here, we present a haplotype-resolved, chromosome-scale genome assembly to address this gap. The assembly spans …
Read PDFTelomere-to-telomere genome assembly of <i>Talaromyces purpureogenus</i> strain ISA502 isolated from maize rhizosphere
We present a telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of <i>Talaromyces purpureogenus</i> strain ISA502, isolated from the maize rhizosphere. The 30.33 Mb genome, assembled using hybrid sequencing, comprises 8 chromosomes with 99% BUSCO completeness, offering improved resolution over …
Read PDFDraft Genome Assembly of Root Knot Nematode, <i>Meloidogyne fallax</i>
<i>Meloidosgyne fallax</i> (false Columbia root knot nematode) is an invasive crop pest recorded across Europe, Africa, North America, and Oceania. Here we present the draft genome assembly of <i>M. fallax</i> which was de novo assembled …
Read PDFGenomic insights into antagonistic coevolution: collagen-like protein expansion and genome plasticity in the Daphnia parasite Pasteuria ramosa
Collagen-like proteins (CLPs) serve many pathogenic bacteria as adhesins to attach to host tissue. It was suggested that CLPs are a major determinant in the coevolution of the model system Daphnia (Crustacean) and its virulent …
Read PDFERGA-BGE Genome of the viperine water snake ( <i>Natrix maura</i>): a key species for evolutionary insights of freshwater snakes
The reference genome of the freshwater snake, <i>Natrix maura,</i> offers a crucial resource for uncovering the genetic basis of adaptability to freshwater environments, while providing insights into hybridization and gene flow within the genus <i>Natrix</i>. …
Read PDFTelomere to telomere level genome assembly of the Yarkand hare (Lepus yarkandensis)
The Yarkand hare (Lepus yarkandensis) is endemic to the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang, China. It is a key species and a critical component of the Tarim Basin ecosystems. However, the lack of a reference genome …
Read PDFThe annotated, chromosome-scale Salicornia depressa (American pickleweed) genome
Salicornia depressa (American pickleweed) is the most widespread member of its salt-loving genus in North America. Pickleweeds typically colonize high marsh areas that tides make highly saline. Most other salt marsh plants cannot withstand the …
Read PDFTelomere-to-telomere genome assembly of Microsporidia sp. MB, a microsporidian symbiont of Anopheles coluzzii isolated from Burkina Faso
BACKGROUND: Microsporidia sp. MB is an intracellular parasite of anopheline mosquitoes identified across the African continent. Microsporidia sp. MB infections appear to have no significant effect on mosquito fitness and can vertically transmit, whilst infected …
Read PDFFrom High-Density Genomic Mapping to Precision Molecular Breeding: A Comprehensive Review of <i>Capsicum</i> Genomic Resources
The genus <i>Capsicum</i> comprises several species that are vital vegetable and spice crops cultivated worldwide, possessing significant economic, nutritional, and ornamental value due to their diverse fruit morphologies, colors, spiciness levels, and stress resistance. Historically, …
Read PDF<i>De Novo</i> Genome Assembly of the Myanmar Puddle Frog, <i>Phrynoglossus myanhessei</i> (Anura: Dicroglossidae)
The Myanmar puddle frog, <i>Phrynoglossus myanhessei</i>, is a recently described, small dicroglossid frog distributed across central and southern Myanmar, typically inhabiting areas adjacent to small stagnant water bodies. With that new species description, rudimentary genome …
Read PDFAnalysis of 21 Apiospora genomes reveals a genus with tremendous synthesis potential for carbohydrate-active enzymes and secondary metabolites
The genus Apiospora has been relatively understudied in comparison to other filamentous fungi species, despite indications from previous research that this genus could yield valuable discoveries of novel enzymes and secondary metabolites applicable to various …
Read PDFChromosome-scale genome assembly and developmental transcriptome of Aedes triseriatus, vector of La Crosse virus
BACKGROUND: Aedes triseriatus is an endemic North American mosquito and the primary vector of La Crosse virus, the etiologic agent of La Crosse encephalitis. This neuroinvasive disease is the leading cause of arboviral encephalitis in …
Read PDFPan-genomics of polyploid crops: from complexity to breeding
Improving crop productivity is essential to ensure global food security in the context of climate change and an increasing global population. Over the past few decades, sequencing has significantly expanded our ability to explore complex …
Read PDFChromosome-scale genome assembly and characterization of Saccharomycopsis schoenii, a necrotrophic predatory yeast
The necrotrophic predatory yeast Saccharomycopsis schoenii preys on diverse fungal species including multidrug-resistant Candida auris, making it a promising candidate for fungal biocontrol. Despite growing interest in its predation mechanisms, a high-quality reference genome is …
Read PDFChromosome-scale genome assembly and annotation of Garuga floribunda var. gamblei (King ex W. W. Sm.) Kalkman
Garuga floribunda var. gamblei (King ex W. W. Sm.) Kalkman, a tree species of Burseraceae (Sapindales), is rare in China and prized for its high-quality timber. Despite its economic and ecological significance, genetic architecture remains …
Read PDFA genome assembly of the California poppy, Eschscholzia californica
The California poppy (Eschscholzia californica), a native wildflower of western North America and the state wildflower of California, is characterized by extensive ecological variation and adaptation to diverse climatic conditions. Its broad geographic range and …
Read PDFChromosome-level genome assembly with telomeric repeats at scaffold ends for Rhabdosargus sarba
Rhabdosargus sarba, the goldlined seabream, is a euryhaline marine fish of great aquaculture potential. Genome sequencing and assembly of R. sarba was carried utilizing a multi-platform sequencing strategy that included long-read sequencing (PacBio HiFi), short-read …
