Phylogeny and characteristics of ruminants Ruminants are a diverse group mammals that includes families containing well-known taxa such as deer, cows, goats. However, their evolutionary relationships have been contentious, the origins distinctive digestive systems headgear, including antlers horns (see Perspective by Ker Yang). To understand among ruminants, L. Chen et al. sequenced 44 species representing 6 performed phylogenetic analysis. From this analysis, they were able to resolve...
Abstract Artificially improving traits of cultivated alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.), one the most important forage crops, is challenging due to lack a reference genome and an efficient editing protocol, which mainly result from its autotetraploidy self-incompatibility. Here, we generate allele-aware chromosome-level assembly for consisting 32 allelic chromosomes by integrating high-fidelity single-molecule sequencing Hi-C data. We further establish CRISPR/Cas9-based protocol on basis this...

Abstract The evolutionary and genetic origins of the specialized body plan flatfish are largely unclear. We analyzed genomes 11 species representing 9 14 Pleuronectiforme families conclude that Pleuronectoidei Psettodoidei do not form a monophyletic group, suggesting independent from different percoid ancestors. Genomic transcriptomic data indicate genes related to WNT retinoic acid pathways, hampered musculature reduced lipids might have functioned in evolution Pleuronectoidei. Evolution...
As an important freshwater aquaculture species in China, the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir japonica sinensis) has high economic and nutritional value. However, limited genomic information is currently available for studying its basic development genetic diversity. Here, we performed whole-genome sequencing on Oxford Nanopore Technologies Limited's platform using promethION. The assembled size of E. j.sinensis genome was approximately 1.27 Gb, which close to estimated (1.19 Gb). Furthermore,...
<title>Abstract</title> Crabs encompass the infra-orders Brachyura and Anomura, collectively constitute clade Meiura within order Decapoda. Despite their considerable diversity, genomic resources for crabs remain scarce, hindering our understanding of phylogeny genetic mechanisms underlying such unique traits as carcinization. To address these questions, here we sequenced genomes 10 crab species covering all currently controversial taxonomies at section level. Our whole-genome phylogenetic...
Abstract Background Taxus wallichiana is an important species for paclitaxel production. Previous genome versions spp. have been limited by extensive gaps, hindering the complete annotation and mining of (known as Taxol commercially) synthesis pathway-related genes. Results Here, we present first phased high-quality reference T. wallichiana, which significantly improves assembly quality corrects large-scale errors in previous versions. The 2 haplotypes are 9.87 Gb 9.98 length, respectively,...
Abstract The reissner lamprey Lethenteron reissneri , belonging to the class Cyclostomata, serves as a bridge between invertebrates and jawed vertebrates, is considered sister group of vertebrates. However, despite this evolutionary significance, genetic mechanisms underlying adaptive evolution lineage remain unclear. Here, we assembled 1.06 Gb chromosome‐level draft genome L. with 72 chromosomes (ranging in length from 4.5 Mb 25.9 Mb) scaffold N50 13.23 Mb. Genome quality comparisons...
The mustache toad, Vibrissaphora ailaonica, is endemic to China and belongs the Megophryidae family. Like other toad species, V. ailaonica males temporarily develop keratinized nuptial spines on their upper jaw during each breeding season, which fall off at end of season. This feature likely result reversal sexual dimorphism in body size, with being larger than females. A high-quality reference genome for would be invaluable investigate genetic mechanism underlying these repeatedly...
Abstract Background The black widow spider has both extraordinarily neurotoxic venom and three-dimensional cobwebs composed of diverse types silk. However, a high-quality reference genome for the was still unavailable, which hindered deep understanding application valuable biomass. Findings We assembled Latrodectus elegans genome, including size 1.57 Gb with contig N50 4.34 Mb scaffold 114.31 Mb. Hi-C scaffolding assigned 98.08% to 14 pseudo-chromosomes, BUSCO, completeness analysis revealed...
Gobiocypris rarus is sensitive to environmental pollution, especially heavy metal and grass carp reovirus (GCRV). Hence, it has potential utility as a biological monitor. Genetic deciphering of its unique immune system will advance our understanding adaptive strategies, which provide cues for better application. A de novo genome rare minnow was obtained, sex determination mechanism ZZ/ZW. We identified several specific mutation genes lost minnow, these might be related the sensitivity...
Abstract Horseshoe crabs including Tachypleus tridentatus are a group of marine arthropods and living fossil species which have existed on the earth for ~500 million years. However, genetic mechanisms underlying their unique adaptive ability still unclear. Here, we assembled first chromosome‐level T. genome, proved that this genome is high quality with contig N50 1.69 Mb. By comparison other arthropods, some gene families experienced significant expansion, related to several signaling...
Abstract The blue king crab, Paralithodes platypus , which belongs to the family Lithodidae, is a commercially and ecologically important species. However, high‐quality reference genome for crab has not yet been reported. Here, we assembled first chromosome‐level genome, contains 104 chromosomes an N50 length of 51.15 Mb. Furthermore, determined that large size can be attributed insertion long interspersed nuclear elements tandem repeats. Genome assembly assessment showed 96.54% transcripts...
The ladybird beetle Henosepilachna vigintioctomaculata is an economically significant oligophagous pest that induces damage to many Solanaceae crops.
