Project description:Oryzias sinensis, also known as Chinese medaka or Chinese ricefish, is a commonly used animal model for aquatic environmental assessment in the wild as well as gene function validation or toxicology research in the lab. Here, a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of O. sinensis was generated using single-tube long fragment read (stLFR) reads, Nanopore long-reads, and Hi-C sequencing data. The genome is 796.58 Mb, and a total of 712.17 Mb of the assembled sequences were anchored to 23 pseudo-chromosomes. A final set of 22,461 genes were annotated, with 98.67% being functionally annotated. The Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs (BUSCO) benchmark of genome assembly and gene annotation reached 95.1% (93.3% single-copy) and 94.6% (91.7% single-copy), respectively. Furthermore, we also use ATAC-seq to uncover chromosome transposase-accessibility as well as related genome area function enrichment for Oryzias sinensis. This study offers a new improved foundation for future genomics research in Chinese medaka.

Project description:Kmeria septentrionalis is a critically endangered tree endemic to Guangxi, China, and is listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List. The lack of genetic information and high-quality genome data has hindered conservation efforts and studies on this species. In this study, we present a chromosome-level genome assembly of K. septentrionalis. The genome was initially assembled to be 2.57 Gb, with a contig N50 of 11.93 Mb. Hi-C guided genome assembly allowed us to anchor 98.83% of the total length of the initial contigs onto 19 pseudochromosomes, resulting in a scaffold N50 of 135.08 Mb. The final chromosome-level genome, spaning 2.54 Gb, achieved a BUSCO completeness of 98.9% and contained 1.67 Gb repetitive elements and 35,927 coding genes. This high-quality genome assembly provides a valuable resource for understanding the genetic basis of conservation-related traits and biological properties of this endangered tree species. Furthermore, it lays a critical foundation for evolutionary studies within the Magnoliaceae family.

Project description:The mulberry looper (Phthonandria atrilineata), a geometrid moth, plays a pivotal role in the destruction of mulberry trees (Morus spp.). In China, P. atrilineata is the most significant insect pest to sericulture, as it feeds on mulberry leaves and spreads diseases. The outbreak trend of P. atrilineata has been expanding yearly, causing substantial economic losses. Despite its ecological and economic importance, knowledge about the genomic background of P. atrilineata remains limited. Here, we report a chromosome-level reference genome of P. atrilineata, with a total size of 336.55 Mb, containing 15,026 protein-coding genes and 39.72% repeat sequences. These findings have the potential to shed light on the genetic basis of the destructive nature and environmental adaptation of P. atrilineata, offering valuable genomic resources for understanding genome evolution and pest management within this Lepidopteran pest.

Project description:Mactra veneriformis (Bivalvia: Mactridae) is a bivalve mollusk of major economic importance in China. Decreased natural yields of M. veneriformis have led to an urgent need for genomic resources. To address this problem and the currently limited knowledge of molecular evolution in this genus, we here report a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of M. veneriformis. Our approach yielded a 939.32 Mb assembled genome with an N50 contig length of 7,977.84 kb. Hi-C scaffolding of the genome resulted in assembly of 19 pseudochromosomes. Repetitive elements made up ∼51.79% of the genome assembly. A total of 29,315 protein-coding genes (PCGs) were predicted in M. veneriformis. Construction of a genome-level phylogenetic tree demonstrated that M. veneriformis and Ruditapes philippinarum diverged around 231 million years ago (MYA). Inter-species comparisons revealed that 493 gene families have undergone expansion and 449 have undergone contraction in the M. veneriformis genome. Chromosome-based macrosynteny analysis revealed a high degree of synteny between the 19 chromosomes of M. veneriformis and those of Patinopecten yessoensis. These results suggested that M. veneriformis has a similar karyotype to that of P. yessoensis, and that a highly conserved 19-chromosome karyotype was formed in the early differentiation stages of bivalves. In summary, the genomic resources generated in this work serve as a valuable reference for investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying biological functions in M. veneriformis and will facilitate future genetic improvement and disease treatment in this economically important species. Furthermore, the assembled genome greatly improves our understanding of early genomic evolution of the Bivalvia.

Project description:Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is an economically important vegetable crop in the Solanaceae family, with extensive diversity among landraces and close relatives. Here, we report a high-quality reference genome for the eggplant inbred line HQ-1315 (S. melongena-HQ) using a combination of Illumina, Nanopore and 10X genomics sequencing technologies and Hi-C technology for genome assembly. The assembled genome has a total size of ~1.17 Gb and 12 chromosomes, with a contig N50 of 5.26 Mb, consisting of 36,582 protein-coding genes. Repetitive sequences comprise 70.09% (811.14 Mb) of the eggplant genome, most of which are long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons (65.80%), followed by long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs, 1.54%) and DNA transposons (0.85%). The S. melongena-HQ eggplant genome carries a total of 563 accession-specific gene families containing 1009 genes. In total, 73 expanded gene families (892 genes) and 34 contraction gene families (114 genes) were functionally annotated. Comparative analysis of different eggplant genomes identified three types of variations, including single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions/deletions (indels) and structural variants (SVs). Asymmetric SV accumulation was found in potential regulatory regions of protein-coding genes among the different eggplant genomes. Furthermore, we performed QTL-seq for eggplant fruit length using the S. melongena-HQ reference genome and detected a QTL interval of 71.29-78.26 Mb on chromosome E03. The gene Smechr0301963, which belongs to the SUN gene family, is predicted to be a key candidate gene for eggplant fruit length regulation. Moreover, we anchored a total of 210 linkage markers associated with 71 traits to the eggplant chromosomes and finally obtained 26 QTL hotspots. The eggplant HQ-1315 genome assembly can be accessed at http://eggplant-hq.cn. In conclusion, the eggplant genome presented herein provides a global view of genomic divergence at the whole-genome level and powerful tools for the identification of candidate genes for important traits in eggplant.

Project description:Hermetia illucens L. (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) is an increasingly important species for bioconversion of organic material into animal feed. We generated a high-quality chromosome-scale genome assembly of the BSF using Pacific Bioscience, 10X Genomics linked read and high-throughput chromosome conformation capture sequencing technology. Scaffolding the final assembly with Hi-C data produced a highly contiguous 1.01 Gb genome with 99.75% of scaffolds assembled into pseudochromosomes representing seven chromosomes with 16.01 Mb contig and 180.46 Mb scaffold N50 values. The highly complete genome obtained a Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs (BUSCO) completeness of 98.6%. We masked 67.32% of the genome as repetitive sequences and annotated a total of 16,478 protein-coding genes using the BRAKER2 pipeline. We analyzed an established lab population to investigate the genomic variation and architecture of the BSF revealing six autosomes and an X chromosome. Additionally, we estimated the inbreeding coefficient (1.9%) of the lab population by assessing runs of homozygosity. This provided evidence for inbreeding events including long runs of homozygosity on chromosome 5. The release of this novel chromosome-scale BSF genome assembly will provide an improved resource for further genomic studies, functional characterization of genes of interest and genetic modification of this economically important species.
