Abstract Background Penguins (Sphenisciformes) are a remarkable order of flightless wing-propelled diving seabirds distributed widely across the southern hemisphere. They share volant common ancestor with Procellariiformes close to Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary (66 million years ago) and subsequently lost ability fly but enhanced their capabilities. With ∼20 species among 6 genera, penguins range from tropical Galápagos Islands oceanic temperate forests New Zealand, rocky coastlines...
Abstract The accurate and complete assembly of both haplotype sequences a diploid organism is essential to understanding the role variation in genome functions, phenotypes diseases 1 . Here, using trio-binning approach, we present high-quality, reference genome, with haplotypes assembled independently at chromosome level, for common marmoset ( Callithrix jacchus ), an primate model system that widely used biomedical research 2,3 full spectrum heterozygosity between two involves 1.36%...
Abstract Penguins lost the ability to fly more than 60 million years ago, subsequently evolving a hyper-specialized marine body plan. Within framework of genome-scale, fossil-inclusive phylogeny, we identify key geological events that shaped penguin diversification and genomic signatures consistent with widespread refugia/recolonization during major climate oscillations. We further suite genes potentially underpinning adaptations related thermoregulation, oxygenation, diving, vision, diet,...
Significance Honey bee colony defense is an emergent trait composed of individual aggressive responses. Here, we investigated the relationship between genotype, allele frequency, and aggression in bees. Our findings show that colony-level response strongly correlates with frequency a way can be used to identify causative genomic regions. Importantly, were able validate key associated region as also being under selection. As very similar correlations are observed both soldier forager bees,...
Background/Objectives:Procambarus clarkii is an important freshwater aquaculture species in China which has the characteristics of rich nutrition and delicious taste. However, expansion scale, germplasm degradation, other problems that have become increasingly prominent seriously restrict sustainable development crayfish industry. Genetic improvement urgent need for industry, selective breeding way to improve varieties. Methods: We established full-sibling family populations red swamp...
Abstract As an important non-cereal food crop grown worldwide, the genetic improvement of potato in tuber yield and quality is largely constrained due to lacking a high-quality reference genome understanding regulatory mechanism underlying formation superior alleles. Here, chromosome-scale haplotype-resolved assembled from anther-cultured progeny ‘Ningshu 15’, tetraploid variety featured by its high starch content drought resistance, was presented. The size 1.653 Gb, with contig N50...
Penguins (Sphenisciformes) are an iconic order of flightless, diving seabirds distributed across a large latitudinal range in the Southern Hemisphere. The extensive area over which penguins endemic is likely to have fostered variation pathogen pressure, turn will imposed differential selective pressures on penguin immune system. At front line detection and response, Toll-like receptors (TLRs) provide insight into host evolution face microbial challenge. TLRs respond conserved...
Alleles that cause advantageous phenotypes with positive selection contribute to adaptive evolution. Investigations of in protein-coding genes rely on the accuracy orthology, models, quality assemblies, and alignment. Here, based latest genome assemblies gene annotations, we present a comparative analysis four great ape species identify 211 high-confidence positively selected (PSGs). Even differences population size among these closely related apes have resulted their ability remove...
