Abstract The orchid mantises achieve camouflage with morphological modifications in body color and pattern, providing an interesting model for understanding phenotypic innovation. However, a reference genome is lacking the order Mantodea. To unveil mechanisms of plant-mimicking coloration patterns, we performed de novo assembly two chromosome-level genomes mantis its close relative, dead leaf mantis. Comparative genomic analysis revealed that Scarlet gene plays important role synthesis...
ABSTRACT Deciphering the mechanisms underlying transmission and spillover of zoonoses from reservoir hosts is essential in preventing future global pandemics. Bat flies—obligate blood-feeding ectoparasites bats—are known carriers diverse viruses. Here, we conducted a de novo assembly chromosome-level genome for bat fly species Phthiridium sp. Comparative genomic analysis unveiled genes associated with specialized traits, such as loss eyes wings, well elongated legs, which have adapted to...
Sirenians exhibit unique aquatic adaptations, showcasing both convergent adaptive features shared with cetaceans and characteristics such as cold sensitivity dense bones. Here, we report a chromosome-level genome of the African manatee (Trichechus senegalensis) high continuity, completeness, accuracy. We found that genes associated osteopetrosis have undergone positive selection (CSF1R LRRK1) or pseudogenized (FAM111A IGSF23) in manatee, potentially contributing to bone formation. The loss...
