Transposable elements (TEs), despite generally being considered deleterious, represent a substantial portion of most eukaryotic genomes. Specific genomic regions, such as telomeres and pericentromeres, are often densely populated with TEs. In these which tend to be gene poor, reduced recombination shelters the genome from deleterious effects Here, we describe unusually large continuous pericentromeric TE-rich regions in all chromosomes assembly Pegoscapus hoffmeyeri Sp. A (511.79 Mbp),...
Abstract Tree mortality is an important ecological process influencing multiple functions of forest ecosystems. Previous studies have shown two basic size–mortality patterns, including a competition‐driven declining and disturbance‐driven increasing rate with tree size. Subtropical forests, which high species diversity subject to frequent monsoon disturbances, are widely distributed in eastern Asia. However, the pattern mature subtropical forests remains unclear. Here we analysed patterns...
Abstract Lotmaria passim is a ubiquitous trypanosomatid parasite of honey bees nestled within the medically important subfamily Leishmaniinae. Although this associated with bee colony losses, original draft genome—which was completed before its differentiation from closely related Crithidia mellificae—has remained reference for species despite lacking improvements newer methodologies. Here we report updated sequencing, assembly, and annotation BRL type strain (ATCC PRA-422) passim. The...
Abstract The Construction File (CF) specification establishes a standardized interface for molecular biology operations, laying foundation automation and enhanced efficiency in experiment design. It is implemented across three distinct software projects: PyDNA_CF_Simulator, Python project featuring ChatGPT plugin interactive parsing simulating experiments; ConstructionFileSimulator, field-tested Java that showcases ‘Experiment’ objects expressed as flat files; C6-Tools, JavaScript integrated...
