Monochamus sutor (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is a pest that has led to significant economic and ecological losses. Herein, we created a high-quality chromosome-level reference genome for M. sutor by integrating MGI, Nanopore, and Hi-C sequencing technologies. …
Read PDFAs an agar-producing red seaweed, Gracilaria vermiculophylla plays a significant role in the food industry as well as in multiple fields, including evolutionary studies, genetic diversity analysis, and ecological research. However, a high-quality chromosome-level genome …
Read PDFThe parrotfish, Scarus rivulatus, is a widely distributed herbivorous species, that helps maintain reef resilience by controlling algal growth. However, overfishing and reef degradation threaten its populations, and the lack of genomic resources limits studies …
Read PDFAs 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 PDFNanopore sequencing is a powerful tool for real-time pathogen detection and genomic characterization; however, its application to individual ticks is limited by abundant host-derived nucleic acids and low viral RNA levels. In this study, we …
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 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 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 PDF<h4>Motivation</h4>Understanding the bacterial epigenome is increasingly recognised as essential for uncovering key mechanisms of gene regulation, host-pathogen interactions, and adaptation to environmental changes. Third-generation sequencing technologies, such as Oxford Nanopore, now enable the direct detection …
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 …
Read PDFOBJECTIVES: Hippobosca camelina (camel ked) is an obligate hematophagous ectoparasite that infests camels. Hematophagy inflicts painful bites, leading to myiasis, anaemia and pathogen transmission. The genome assembly for this species is currently unavailable, limiting our …
Read PDFPrimula kwangtungensis, a perennial herbaceous plant endemic to the Nanling Mountains in southern China, is rare and sparsely distributed, making it a conservation priority. This study reports a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of approximately 1.29 …
Read PDFThe Siberian crane (Leucogeranus leucogeranus) is classified as Critically Endangered by the IUCN. Its current estimated population is over 6,900 individuals in East Asia, whereas the Western/Central Asian population is nearly extinct, with no recent …
Read PDFHere, we present the complete genome sequence of <i>Limosilactobacillus fermentum</i> strain VNUA2025, isolated from diseased fish samples in Vietnam. The genome was obtained by integrating sequencing data generated using Oxford Nanopore's PromethION platform with an …
Read PDFThe two-spotted cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus, is a key hemimetabolous model organism for developmental biology, neuroscience, and regeneration. The existing reference genome is, however, highly fragmented into 47,877 scaffolds, hampering chromosome-scale analyses for these fields. Here, …
