During citizen-science expeditions to the Ulu Temburong National Park, Brunei, several individuals were collected of a semi-slug species genus Microparmarion that, based on morphology and in-the-field DNA-barcoding, was found be an undescribed species. In this paper, we describe sallehi Wu, Ezzwan & Hamdani, n. sp., after field centre supervisor Md Salleh Abdullah Bat. We provide details external internal reproductive morphology, shell ecology type locality, as well diagnosis comparing...
Abstract The common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a crucial legume crop and an ideal evolutionary model to study adaptive diversity in wild domesticated populations. Here, we present pan-genome based on five high-quality genomes whole-genome reads representing 339 genotypes. It reveals ~234 Mb of additional sequences containing 6,905 protein-coding genes missing from the reference, constituting 49% all presence/absence variants (PAVs). More non-synonymous mutations are found PAVs than...
High-throughput genotyping enables the large-scale analysis of genetic diversity in population genomics and genome-wide association studies that combine genotypic phenotypic characterization large collections accessions. Sequencing-based approaches for are progressively replacing traditional methods because lower ascertainment bias. However, based on sequencing becomes expensive species with genomes a high proportion repetitive DNA. Here we describe use CRISPR-Cas9 technology to deplete...
The origin of common bean was investigated throughout chloroplast and nuclear WGS data considering recombination events. Our results support the Mesoamerican bean. remarkable evolutionary history (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) has led to emergence three wild main gene pools corresponding different eco-geographical areas: Mesoamerica, Andes northern Peru/Ecuador. Recent works proposed novel scenarios, Peru/Ecuador population been described as a new species called P. debouckii, rekindling debate...
Abstract The remarkable evolutionary history of the common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L. ) has led to emergence three wild main genepools corresponding different ecogeographic areas: Mesoamerica, Andes and northern Peru/Ecuador. Recent works proposed novel scenarios Peru/Ecuador population been described as a new species called P. debouckii, rekindling debate about origin . Here we shed light on by analysing chloroplast nuclear genomes large varietal collection representing entire...

High-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) is widely used for scaffolding in de novo assembly because it produces highly contiguous genomes, but its indirect statistical approach can introduce connection errors. We employed optical mapping (Bionano Genomics) as an orthogonal technology to assess the structural solidity of Hi-C reconstructed scaffolds. Optical maps were correctness five genome assemblies based on long-read sequencing contig generation and scaffolding. Hundreds...
