The East Asian fourfinger threadfin (Eleutheronema rhadinum, Jordan & Evermann, 1902), an endemic species in East Asia, is distributed across coastal waters of China (including Taiwan Province), Japan, and northern Vietnam. Owing to its high …
Read PDFVenda chickens are indigenous to South Africa and are known for their robustness traits (ability to grow, reproduce, and survive) in environments with dry, hot, and humid weather and food shortages. Understanding the genetic mechanisms …
Read PDFThe narrow-leaf bur-reed (Sparganium angustifolium Michx.), a member of the Typhaceae family, is an ecologically important species in temperate Northern Hemisphere aquatic ecosystems. As a phylogenetically basal taxon within the order Poales, S. angustifolium is …
Read PDFNguni goat is an indigenous goat breed of South Africa characterised by small body frame, variable coat colours and exceptional tolerance to harsh environmental conditions. This breed is utilised for meat and milk production thus …
Read PDFThe naked mole rat (NMR, Heterocephalus glaber) is a eusocial rodent that is native to northeastern Africa. NMRs exhibit extraordinary traits such as longevity, resistance to age-related decline, and remarkable hypoxia tolerance. Although the reference …
Read PDFWe present a genome assembly from an individual male <i>Melangyna compositarum</i> (hoverfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Syrphidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 999.96 megabases and 858.82 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (91.7%) …
Read PDFWe present a genome assembly from an individual male <i>Scenopinus jerei</i> (window fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Scenopinidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 345.25 megabases and 232.44 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 …
Read PDFWe present a genome assembly from an individual female <i>Cetorhinus maximus</i> (Basking Shark; Chordata; Chondrichthyes; Lamniformes; Cetorhinidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 3 993.85 megabases and 3 817.33 megabases. Most of …
Read PDFChirolophis japonicus is notable for its slender body and distinctive fringed head projections, features that help it camouflage among rocky reefs and make it an ecologically intriguing species in cold-temperate seas. Here, we report the …
Read PDFOpsariichthys evolans is a stream-dwelling fish species endemic to China, with its primary distribution encompassing southeastern China and Taiwan. Initially classified under the genus Zacco, it was later reclassified into the genus Opsariichthys based primarily …
Read PDFThe increasing availability of reference genomes for non-traditional model species is enhancing research in ecology and evolution. Here, we present a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation for the bank vole Clethrionomys glareolus, an emerging …
Read PDFWe present a genome assembly from an individual male <i>Lucilia caesar</i> (greenbottle fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Calliphoridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 615.55 megabases. Most of the assembly (88.01%) is scaffolded into …
Read PDFSpecies of the genus Varanus exhibit substantial variation in body size, making them an excellent model system for studying evolutionary biology. Their genomes can provide valuable insights into the evolutionary mechanisms underlying body size diversity …
Read PDFTermites belong to the infraorder Isoptera within the order Blattodea. Reticulitermes chinensis Snyder, a species in the Rhinotermitidae family, remains a major pest causing severe damage to wooden structures in buildings. Here, the chromosome-level genome …
Read PDF<i>Ailoscolex lacteospumosus</i> represents one of the basal taxa of the earthworm family Hormogastridae and was initially placed in a different family, Ailoscolecidae, including just this species. Its genome can help unravel the evolution of this …
Read PDFWe present a genome assembly from an individual female <i>Tachyporus hypnorum</i> (rove beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Staphylinidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 531.37 megabases. Most of the assembly (63.74%) is scaffolded into …
Read PDFThe striped venus clam Chamelea gallina is a benthic bivalve relevant for the blue economy of the Adriatic Sea and the European fishery sector. However, the limited genomic resources available for this bivalve hinder the …
Read PDFCold seeps are unique and important deep-sea ecosystems characterized by chemosynthesis. The deep-sea limpet Bathyacmaea lactea is an endemic and ecologically important species inhabiting these extreme environments, representing an ideal model for studying adaptation and …
Read PDFWe present a genome assembly of <i>Viola odorata</i> (Sweet violet; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Malpighiales; Violaceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 698.62 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.9%) is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules. …
Read PDFWe present a genome assembly from a female specimen of <i>Pyrgus centaureae</i> (Northern Grizzled Skipper; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Hesperiidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 758.98 megabases and 671.41 megabases. Most of …
