Chromosome-level genome assembly of the Asian spongy moths Lymantria dispar asiatica.

ABSTRACT: The Asian spongy moth, Lymantria dispar asiatica, is one of the most devastating forestry defoliators. The absence of a high-quality genome limited the understanding of its adaptive evolution. Here, we conducted the first chromosome-level genome assembly of L. dispar asiatica using PacBio HIFI long reads, Hi-C sequencing reads and transcriptomic data. The total assembly size is 997.59 Mb, containing 32 chromosomes with a GC content of 38.91% and a scaffold N50 length of 35.42 Mb. The BUSCO assessment indicated a completeness estimate of 99.4% for this assembly. A total of 19,532 protein-coding genes was predicted. Our study provides a valuable genomics resource for studying the mechanisms of adaptive evolution and facilitate an efficient control of L. dispar asiatica.

Improvement in the Identification Technology for Asian Spongy Moth, <i>Lymantria dispar</i> Linnaeus, 1758 (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) Based on SS-COI.

Project description:Lymantria dispar (Linnaeus, 1758), which is commonly known as spongy moth, with two subspecies, is found in Asia: Lymantria dispar asiatica and Lymantria dispar japonica, collectively referred to as the Asian spongy moth (ASM). The subspecies Lymantria dispar dispar occurs in Europe and is commonly known as the European spongy moth (ESM). The ASM is on the quarantine list of many countries because it induces greater economic losses than the ESM. Accurate identification is essential to prevent the invasion of ASM into new areas. Although several techniques for identifying ASMs have been developed, the recent discovery of complex patterns of genetic variation among ASMs in China as well as new subspecies in some areas has necessitated the development of new, improved identification techniques, as previously developed techniques are unable to accurately identify ASMs from all regions in China. Here, we demonstrate the efficacy of an improved technique for the identification of the ASM using ASM-specific primers, which were designed based on cytochrome oxidase I sequences from samples obtained from all sites where ASMs have been documented to occur in China. We show that these primers are effective for identifying a single ASM at all life stages and from all ASM populations in China, and the minimum detectable concentration of genomic DNA was 30 pg. The inclusion of other Lymantria samples in our analysis confirmed the high specificity of the primers. Our improved technique allows the spread of ASMs to be monitored in real time and will help mitigate the spread of ASMs to other areas.

Sequencing, assembly and annotation of the whole-insect genome of Lymantria dispar dispar, the European gypsy moth.

Project description:The European gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar dispar (LDD), is an invasive insect and a threat to urban trees, forests and forest-related industries in North America. For use as a comparator with a previously published genome based on the LD652 pupal ovary-derived cell line, as well as whole-insect genome sequences obtained from the Asian gypsy moth subspecies L. dispar asiatica and L. dispar japonica, the whole-insect LDD genome was sequenced, assembled and annotated. The resulting assembly was 998 Mb in size, with a contig N50 of 662 Kb and a GC content of 38.8%. Long interspersed nuclear elements constitute 25.4% of the whole-insect genome, and a total of 11,901 genes predicted by automated gene finding encoded proteins exhibiting homology with reference sequences in the NCBI NR and/or UniProtKB databases at the most stringent similarity cutoff level (i.e., the gold tier). These results will be especially useful in developing a better understanding of the biology and population genetics of L. dispar and the genetic features underlying Lepidoptera in general.

Lymantria Dispar Iflavirus 1 RNA Comprises a Large Proportion of RNA in Adult <i>L. dispar</i> Moths.

Project description:The spongy moth virus Lymantria dispar iflavirus 1 (LdIV1), originally identified from a Lymantria dispar cell line, was detected in 24 RNA samples from female moths of four populations from the USA and China. Genome-length contigs were assembled for each population and compared with the reference genomes of the first reported LdIV1 genome (Ames strain) and two LdIV1 sequences available in GenBank originating from Novosibirsk, the Russian Federation. A whole-genome phylogeny was generated for these sequences, indicating that LdIV1 viruses observed in North American (flightless) and Asian (flighted) spongy moth lineages indeed partition into clades as would be expected per their host's geographic origin and biotype. A comprehensive listing of synonymous and non-synonymous mutations, as well as indels, among the polyprotein coding sequences of these seven LdIV1 variants was compiled and a codon-level phylogram was computed using polyprotein sequences of these, and 50 additional iflaviruses placed LdIV1 in a large clade consisting mostly of iflaviruses from other species of Lepidoptera. Of special note, LdIV1 RNA was present at very high levels in all samples, with LdIV1 reads accounting for a mean average of 36.41% (ranging from 1.84% to 68.75%, with a standard deviation of 20.91) of the total sequenced volume.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of an important wolfberry fruit fly (Neoceratitis asiatica Becker).

Project description:Tephritidae pests are significant agricultural pests with a notable impact on the economy, with a wide range of species and most having broad host ranges and strong reproductive abilities. However, the wolfberry fruit fly, Neoceratitis asiatica (Becker), is a Tephritidae fly which only harms wolfberry. Here, we assembled and annotated N. asiatica genome at the chromosome level and compared it with the genomic and transcriptomic information from other Tephritidae flies. The assembled genome of N. asiatica had a size of 563.8 Mb and achieved a completeness level of 99.1%, 18,387 genes were annotated totally. All contigs were assembled into 7 linkage groups with an N50 of 93.166 Mb assisted by the Hi-C technique. The high-quality genome developed here will provide a significant resource for exploring the genetic basis of the adaptive and reproductive differences among various Tephritidae pests, and provides an important theoretical basis for the prevention and control of Tephritidae pests.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of the Asian aspen Populus davidiana Dode.

Project description:The genome of Populus davidiana, a keystone aspen species, has been sequenced to improve our understanding of the evolutionary and functional genomics of the Populus genus. The Hi-C scaffolding genome assembly resulted in a 408.1 Mb genome with 19 pseudochromosomes. The BUSCO assessment revealed that 98.3% of the genome matched the embryophytes dataset. A total of 31,862 protein-coding sequences were predicted, of which 31,619 were functionally annotated. The assembled genome was composed of 44.9% transposable elements. These findings provide new knowledge about the characteristics of the P. davidiana genome and will facilitate comparative genomics and evolutionary research on the genus Populus.

A chromosome-level genome assembly of the Asian arowana, Scleropages formosus.

Project description:Asian arowana (Scleropages formosus), an ancient teleost belonging to the Order Osteoglossomorpha, has been a valuable ornamental fish with some varieties. However, its biological studies and breeding germplasm have been remarkably limited by the lack of a reference genome. To solve these problems, here we report high-quality genome sequences of three common varieties of Asian arowana (the golden, red and green arowana). We firstly generated a chromosome-level genome assembly of the golden arowana, on basis of the genetic linkage map constructed with the restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq). In addition, we obtained draft genome assemblies of the red and green varieties. Finally, we annotated 22,016, 21,256 and 21,524 protein-coding genes in the genome assemblies of golden, red and green varieties respectively. Our data were deposited in publicly accessible repositories to promote biological research and molecular breeding of Asian arowana.

Analyses of adult transcriptomes from four different populations of the spongy moth, Lymantria dispar L., from China and the USA.

Project description:The spongy moth Lymantria dispar, formerly known as the gypsy moth, is a forest pest that occurs as two different biotypes: the European spongy moth (ESM), Lymantria dispar dispar, which is distributed in Europe and North America; and the Asian spongy moth (ASM), which consists of subspecies Lymantria dispar asiatica and Lymantria dispar japonica and is distributed in China, Russia, Korea, and Japan. The Asian biotype is classified as a quarantine pest by the U.S. Department of Agriculture because of the superior flight ability of adult females compared to females of the European biotype. To identify genes that potentially account for differences in female flight capability between the two biotypes, we assembled and compared transcriptional profiles of two North American populations of ESM and two Chinese populations of ASM, including samples of unmated female adults and females after mating and oviposition. Of 129,286 unigenes identified, 306 were up-regulated in ASM samples relative to ESM, including genes involved in egg production. In contrast, 2309 unigenes were down-regulated in ASM samples, including genes involved in energy production. Although a previous study found that ASM female flight was reduced after oviposition, a comparison of gene expression before and after mating and oviposition did not reveal any genes which were consistently up- or down-regulated in the two ASM populations.
