A chromosome-level reference genome of the hornbeam, Carpinus fangiana.

ABSTRACT: Betulaceae, the birch family, comprises six living genera and over 160 species, many of which are economically valuable. To deepen our knowledge of Betulaceae species, we have sequenced the genome of a hornbeam, Carpinus fangiana, which belongs to the most species-rich genus of the Betulaceae subfamily Coryloideae. Based on over 75 Gb (~200x) of high-quality next-generation sequencing data, we assembled a 386.19 Mb C. fangiana genome with contig N50 and scaffold N50 sizes of 35.32 kb and 1.91 Mb, respectively. Furthermore, 357.84 Mb of the genome was anchored to eight chromosomes using over 50 Gb (~130x) Hi-C sequencing data. Transcriptomes representing six tissues were sequenced to facilitate gene annotation, and over 5.50 Gb high-quality data were generated for each tissue. The structural annotation identified a total of 27,381 protein-coding genes in the assembled genome, of which 94.36% were functionally annotated. Additionally, 4,440 non-coding genes were predicted.

Chromosome-level reference genome of the jellyfish Rhopilema esculentum.

Project description:Jellyfish belong to the phylum Cnidaria, which occupies an important phylogenetic location in the early-branching Metazoa lineages. The jellyfish Rhopilema esculentum is an important fishery resource in China. However, the genome resource of R. esculentum has not been reported to date. In this study, we constructed a chromosome-level genome assembly of R. esculentum using Pacific Biosciences, Illumina, and Hi-C sequencing technologies. The final genome assembly was ∼275.42 Mb, with a contig N50 length of 1.13 Mb. Using Hi-C technology to identify the contacts among contigs, 260.17 Mb (94.46%) of the assembled genome were anchored onto 21 pseudochromosomes with a scaffold N50 of 12.97 Mb. We identified 17,219 protein-coding genes, with an average CDS length of 1,575 bp. The genome-wide phylogenetic analysis indicated that R. esculentum might have evolved more slowly than the other scyphozoan species used in this study. In addition, 127 toxin-like genes were identified, and 1 toxin-related "hub" was found by a genomic survey. We have generated a chromosome-level genome assembly of R. esculentum that could provide a valuable genomic background for studying the biology and pharmacology of jellyfish, as well as the evolutionary history of Cnidaria.

A chromosome-level reference genome of a Convolvulaceae species Ipomoea cairica.

Project description:Ipomoea cairica is a perennial creeper that has been widely introduced as a garden ornamental across tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions. Because it grows extremely fast and spreads easily, it has been listed as an invasive species in many countries. Here, we constructed the chromosome-level reference genome of Ipomoea cairica by Pacific Biosciences HiFi and Hi-C sequencing, with the assembly size of 733.0 Mb, the contig N50 of 43.8 Mb, the scaffold N50 of 45.7 Mb, and the Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs complete rate of 98.0%. Hi-C scaffolding assigned 97.9% of the contigs to 15 pseudo-chromosomes. Telomeric repeat analysis reveals that 7 of the 15 pseudo-chromosomes are gapless and telomere to telomere. The transposable element content of Ipomoea cairica is 73.4%, obviously higher than that of other Ipomoea species. A total of 38,115 protein-coding genes were predicted, with the Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs complete rate of 98.5%, comparable to that of the genome assembly, and 92.6% of genes were functional annotated. In addition, we identified 3,039 tRNA genes and 2,403 rRNA genes in the assembled genome. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Ipomoea cairica formed a clade with Ipomoea aquatica, and they diverged from each other 8.1 million years ago. Through comparative genome analysis, we reconfirmed that a whole genome triplication event occurred specific to Convolvulaceae family and in the ancestor of the genus Ipomoea and Cuscuta. This high-quality reference genome of Ipomoea cairica will greatly facilitate the studies on the molecular mechanisms of its rapid growth and invasiveness.

Chromosome-Level Reference Genome Assembly for the American Pika (Ochotona princeps).

Project description:The American pika (Ochotona princeps) is an alpine lagomorph found throughout western North America. Primarily inhabiting talus slopes at higher elevations (>2000 m), American pikas are well adapted to cold, montane environments. Warming climates on both historical and contemporary scales have contributed to population declines in American pikas, positioning them as a focal mammalian species for investigating the ecological effects of climate change. To support and expand ongoing research efforts, here, we present a highly contiguous and annotated reference genome assembly for the American pika (OchPri4.0). This assembly was produced using Dovetail de novo proximity ligation methods and annotated through the NCBI Eukaryotic Genome Annotation pipeline. The resulting assembly was chromosome- scale, with a total length of 2.23 Gb across 9350 scaffolds and a scaffold N50 of 75.8 Mb. The vast majority (>97%) of the total assembly length was found within 36 large scaffolds; 33 of these scaffolds correlated to whole autosomes, while the X chromosome was covered by 3 large scaffolds. Additionally, we identified 17 enriched gene ontology terms among American pika-specific genes putatively related to adaptation to high-elevation environments. This high-quality genome assembly will serve as a springboard for exploring the evolutionary underpinnings of behavioral, ecological, and taxonomic diversification in pikas as well as broader-scale eco-evolutionary questions pertaining to cold-adapted species in general.

A chromosome-level reference genome of the hazelnut, Corylus heterophylla Fisch.

Project description:Corylus heterophylla Fisch. is a species of the Betulaceae family native to China. As an economically and ecologically important nut tree, C. heterophylla can survive in extremely low temperatures (-30 to -40 °C). To deepen our knowledge of the Betulaceae species and facilitate the use of C. heterophylla for breeding and its genetic improvement, we have sequenced the whole genome of C. heterophylla. Based on >64.99 Gb (∼175.30×) of Nanopore long reads, we assembled a 370.75-Mb C. heterophylla genome with contig N50 and scaffold N50 sizes of 2.07 and 31.33 Mb, respectively, accounting for 99.23% of the estimated genome size (373.61 Mb). Furthermore, 361.90 Mb contigs were anchored to 11 chromosomes using Hi-C link data, representing 97.61% of the assembled genome sequences. Transcriptomes representing 4 different tissues were sequenced to assist protein-coding gene prediction. A total of 27,591 protein-coding genes were identified, of which 92.02% (25,389) were functionally annotated. The phylogenetic analysis showed that C. heterophylla is close to Ostrya japonica, and they diverged from their common ancestor ∼52.79 million years ago. We generated a high-quality chromosome-level genome of C. heterophylla. This genome resource will promote research on the molecular mechanisms of how the hazelnut responds to environmental stresses and serves as an important resource for genome-assisted improvement in cold and drought resistance of the Corylus genus.

Chromosome-level reference genome for the medically important Arabian horned viper (Cerastes gasperettii)

Project description:Venomous animals have traditionally been studied from a proteomic (but also transcriptomic) perspective, often overlooking the study of venom from a genomic point of view until recently. The rise of genomics has led to an increase in the number of reference genomes for non-model organisms, including venomous taxa, enabling new questions on venom evolution from a genomic context. Although venomous snakes are the fundamental model system in venom research, the number of high-quality reference genomes in the group remains limited. In this study, we present a high-quality chromosome-level reference genome for the Arabian horned viper (Cerastes gasperettii), a highly venomous snake native to the Arabian Peninsula. Our highly-contiguous genome allowed us to explore macrochromosomal rearrangements within the Viperidae family, as well as across squamate reptile evolution. Furthermore, we identified a total of ten different toxins conforming the venom’s core, in line with our proteomic results. We also compared microsyntenic changes in the main toxin gene clusters with those of other venomous snake species, highlighting the pivotal role of gene duplication and loss in the emergence and diversification of the two main toxin families for Cerastes gasperettii. Using Illumina data, we reconstructed the demographic history and genome-wide diversity of the species, revealing how historical aridity likely drove population expansions. Finally, this study highlights the importance of using long-read sequencing as well as chromosome-level reference genomes to disentangle the origin and diversification of toxin families in venomous species.
