The order Sordariales is taxonomically diverse, and harbours many species with different lifestyles large economic importance. Despite its importance, a robust genome-scale phylogeny, associated comparative genomic analysis of the lacking. In this study, we examined whole-genome data from 99 Sordariales, including 52 newly sequenced genomes, seven outgroup taxa. We inferred comprehensive phylogeny that resolved several contentious relationships amongst families in order, cleared-up...

Callosobruchus maculatus is a major agricultural pest of legume crops worldwide and an established model system in ecology evolution. Yet, current molecular biological resources for this species are limited. Here, we employ Hi-C sequencing to generate greatly improved genome assembly annotate its repetitive elements dedicated in-depth effort where manually curate classify the most abundant unclassified repeat subfamilies. We present scaffolded chromosome-level assembly, which 1.01 Gb total...

Abstract Background The genome of the filamentous ascomycete Podospora anserina shows a relatively high abundance retrotransposons compared to other interspersed repeats. LTR-retrotransposon family crapaud is particularly abundant in genome, and consists multiple diverged sequence variations specifically localized 5’ half both long terminal repeats (LTRs). P. part recently species-complex, which makes system ideal classify based on observed LTR variation study evolutionary dynamics, such as...
