The African turquoise killifish, Nothobranchius furzeri, is an emerging model for functional genomics research. Interest in N. furzeri stems from its extremely short lifespan, and the breadth of research on this fish is rapidly expanding. …
Read PDFWe present a genome assembly from a male specimen of <i>Odontomyia ornata</i> (Ornate Brigadier; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Stratiomyidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 2,045.35 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.0%) is scaffolded …
Read PDFWe present a genome assembly from an individual <i>Petrosia ficiformis</i> (stone sponge; Porifera; Demospongiae; Haplosclerida; Petrosiidae). The genome sequence is 191.3 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Thorny-headed worms (Acanthocephala) occur worldwide in gnathostome vertebrates feeding on mandibulate arthropods. They can manipulate host behavior, accumulate heavy metals, and have lately gained economic relevance as a pest in fish aquaculture. Yet, despite their …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Soil salinization threatens global rice production, driving the urgent need for salt-tolerant rice cultivars. Sea rice HD961, renowned for its exceptional salt tolerance, serves as an ideal model for elucidating molecular adaptations to salinity.<h4>Results</h4>In this …
Read PDFWild Arachis species exhibit abundant genetic diversity for peanut improvement. However, the evolutionary history of their genomes is unclear. Here, through comparative oligopainting, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between microscopically observed chromosomes and sequenced pseudomolecules …
Read PDFTrypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, exhibits remarkable genomic variability and possesses an expanded genome rich in multigene families. However, its precise chromosomal composition has remained elusive due to the challenges posed by …
Read PDFTo investigate the genomic features of rare oral commensals in healthy individuals, we present the draft genome sequences of <i>Staphylococcus hominis</i> strains O226 and O218 and <i>Micrococcus luteus</i> strain O220. All three of these isolates …
Read PDFPleurotus ostreatus, a widely cultivated edible oyster mushroom, is an ecologically versatile species with applications in biotechnology, agriculture, and food production. It functions as a decomposer and in nutrient-limited conditions it enhances its survival by …
Read PDFThe Southern Corroboree frog ( <i>Pseudophryne corroboree</i>; Anura; Myobatrachidae) is a Critically Endangered amphibian, according to the IUCN, and is endemic to the Snowy Mountains region of Kosciuszko National Park in New South Wales, Australia. …
Read PDFAnnotated coding sequences (CDSs) enable genome-wide estimates of alternative splicing. However, the quality and evidence support of these annotations can systematically bias estimates of splicing events across species. Here, we evaluate how annotation-related variables from …
Read PDFThe giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, is native to Southeast Asia and is used in aquacultural practices worldwide. It is considered advantageous because of its rapid growth, high nutritional value, and economic benefits. As one …
Read PDFWe present a genome assembly from a female specimen of <i>Bombus jonellus</i> (Heath Bumblebee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Apidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 357.90 megabases. Most of the assembly (78.06%) is scaffolded …
Read PDFWe present a genome assembly from a male specimen of <i>Ptychoptera contaminata</i> (phantom cranefly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Ptychopteridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 204.08 megabases. Most of the assembly (83.64%) is scaffolded …
Read PDFChrysoperla zastrowi sillemi is an extensively employed bio-control agent against crop pests. However, the genomic information on adaptive evolution and predator-prey interaction was lacking to enhance its predatory potential. Here, we presented a high contiguity, …
Read PDF<i>Brassica juncea</i> var. <i>tumida</i>, commonly known as Zha Cai, is a pickled stem mustard widely cultivated in southern China. Its most distinctive trait is the swollen stem, which serves as the primary economic organ for …
Read PDFProtocols and pipelines for SARS-CoV-2 genome sequencing were rapidly established when the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic. The most widely used approach for sequencing SARS-CoV-2 includes targeted enrichment by PCR, followed by shotgun sequencing …
Read PDFHerein, we report the genome of <i>Salmonella enterica</i> strain SBI_BS16_ABA_BD, isolated from broiler chicken in Bashundhara, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The 4,990,699-bp genome (51.01% G + C) comprises 57 contigs with 217× coverage with 4,705 coding sequences, …
Read PDFWe present a genome assembly from a female specimen of <i>Pollenia pediculata</i> (cluster fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Polleniidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 1,156.86 megabases and 1,222.48 megabases. Most of haplotype …
Read PDFGypsophila vaccaria Sm., a member of the Caryophyllaceae family, is known for its dry mature seeds, which are widely used in traditional Chinese medicine as "Wang Bu Liu Xing". This study presents a high-quality, chromosome-scale …
