The genus Stichopus comprises sea cucumber species that are ecologically and economically valuable, known for their roles in nutrient cycling and as sources of bioactive compounds in traditional medicine. Genomic insights are essential for understanding …
Read PDFSugar beet (<i>Beta vulgaris</i> ssp. <i>vulgaris</i>) is an important crop plant serving as a major source of sugar, particularly in Europe. Sugar beet research using the genotype KWS2320 has a long-standing history, and many datasets …
Read PDFBelamcanda chinensis is a non-leguminous medicinal plant rich in bioactive isoflavones; however, the lack of a high-quality reference genome has limited elucidation of its isoflavone biosynthetic and modification network. Here, we present the first near …
Read PDFThe fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is a pivotal model organism, yet its reference genome (ISO-1 strain) retains unresolved gaps in complex regions. Here, we present a near-complete telomere-to-telomere genome assembly (Dm.nT2T) of the Canton S …
Read PDFPolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are persistent environmental pollutants with significant ecological and health risks. Among them, coronene, a high molecular weight PAH, is particularly resistant to biodegradation due to its complex structure. This study characterizes …
Read PDFThe wasp Vespa mandarinia raised in Yunnan Province of China exhibits a relatively large body size, potent toxicity, invasive potential, and ecological impacts. These characteristics are closely linked to its acute olfactory sensitivity, venom-aided predation, …
Read PDFBitter gourd (Momordica charantia) is an economically important vegetable crop with notable medicinal properties, yet its genetic improvement has been hindered by limited genomic resources and insufficient functional genomics tools. Here, we present a comprehensive …
Read PDF<b>Background/Objectives:</b> The vaginal microbiota constitutes a highly dynamic microbial ecosystem shaped by the distinct mucosal, hormonal, and immunological environment of the female genital tract. Accumulating evidence suggests that shifts in cervical microbial composition and function …
Read PDFInfectious disease diagnostics has been transformed by metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS), an unbiased approach that detects bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites in a single assay. By sequencing all nucleic acids in a sample, mNGS overcomes …
Read PDFThe gut microbiota and resistome may change upon exposure to environments with high prevalence of multidrug-resistant pathogens, potentially impacting health and contributing to the spread of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs). In this context, expatriates may …
Read PDFWetland ecosystems provide interfaces for the transmission of microbial pathogens and antimicrobial resistances (AMR) between migratory birds, wild and domestic animals, and human populations. The efficient surveillance of wetlands is, however, challenging, since the typically …
Read PDFShort nasal swabs (SNS) have potential advantages of lower costs, collection time and training of personnel than deep nasopharyngeal swabs (DNPS) for detecting bovine respiratory disease (BRD) pathogens. This study examined differences between DNPS and …
Read PDFDNA-based methods and developments of sequencing technologies are integral to macrobenthos biodiversity studies, and their implementation as standardized monitoring methods is approaching. Evaluating the efficacy and reliability of these technological developments is crucial for macrobenthos …
Read PDFThe emergence of nanopore sequencing technology has the potential to transform metagenomics by offering low-cost, portable, and long-read sequencing capabilities. Furthermore, these platforms enable real-time data generation, which could significantly reduce the time from sample …
Read PDFLow primary productivity in Barents Sea surface waters and limited nutrient flux to the seafloor favor nitrification and nitrogen fixation in deep waters, resulting in a dearth of organic substrates in local sediments. The addition …
Read PDFBovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a multifactorial syndrome and a leading cause of morbidity and economic loss in global cattle production. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms, including Illumina and Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT), have enabled high-resolution …
Read PDFBegonia fimbristipula Hance (Begoniaceae) is a valuable medicinal herb that is classified as a protected species in Guangdong Province, China. In this study, we present a chromosome-level genome assembly of B. fimbristipula, aiming to facilitate …
Read PDFWe report the whole-genome sequence of <i>Diaporthe australafricana</i> Crous & J.M. van Niekerkusing using Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing and Illumina short-read sequencing. The hybrid genome consists of 11 contigs with a total length of 53.509 …
Read PDFSpliced leader (SL) trans-splicing occurs in a wide range of eukaryotes and plays a critical role in processing mRNAs derived from operon structures. However, current research on this mechanism remains limited, partly due to the …
Read PDF<i>Scedosporium</i> species are filamentous fungi with inherent broad antifungal resistance that pose opportunistic infection threats. We present draft genome assemblies of <i>S. aurantiacum</i> (11 contigs) and <i>S. apiospermum</i> (9 contigs), derived from Oxford Nanopore sequencing …
