Chromosome-level genome assembly of the common chaffinch (Aves: Fringilla Coelebs): a valuable resource for evolutionary biology

Chromosome-level genome assembly of the common chaffinch (Aves: Fringilla Coelebs): a valuable resource for evolutionary biology

The common chaffinch, Fringilla coelebs, is one of the most common, widespread and well-studied passerines in Europe, with a broad distribution encompassing Western Europe and elements of Asia, North Africa and the Macaronesian archipelagos. We current a high-quality genome assembly of the common chaffinch generated utilizing Illumina shotgun sequencing together with Chicago and Hi-C libraries. … Read more

Convergent Adaptation to Quantitative Host Resistance in a Major Plant Pathogen

Convergent Adaptation to Quantitative Host Resistance in a Major Plant Pathogen

Plant pathogens can adapt to quantitative resistance, eroding its effectiveness. The purpose of this work was to reveal the genomic foundation of adaptation to such a resistance in populations of the fungus Pseudocercospora fijiensis, a main devastating pathogen of banana, by finding out convergent adaptation on totally different cultivars. Samples from P. fijiensis populations displaying a native adaptation sample … Read more

From e-voucher to genomic data: Preserving archive specimens as demonstrated with medically important mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) and kissing bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)

From e-voucher to genomic data: Preserving archive specimens as demonstrated with medically important mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) and kissing bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)

Scientific collections such as the U.S. National Museum (USNM) are crucial to filling data gaps in molecular systematics research. The world taxonomic obstacle has resulted in a discount of professional taxonomists producing new collections of uncommon or understudied taxa and these massive historic collections stands out as the solely dependable supply of fabric for some … Read more

Construction of a chromosome-level genome and variation map for the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas

Construction of a chromosome-level genome and variation map for the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas

The Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) is a extensively distributed marine bivalve of nice ecological and financial significance. In this examine, we offer a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembled utilizing Pacific Bioscience lengthy reads and Hi-C-based and linkage-map-based scaffolding applied sciences and a high-resolution variation map constructed utilizing large-scale resequencing evaluation. The 586.8-Mb genome consists of 10 … Read more

Genome-wide enhancer annotations differ significantly in genomic distribution, evolution, and function.

Non-coding gene regulatory enhancers are important to transcription in mammalian cells. As a end result, a big number of experimental and computational methods have been developed to determine cis-regulatory enhancer sequences. Given the variations in the organic indicators assayed, some variation in the enhancers recognized by totally different strategies is predicted; nevertheless, the concordance of … Read more
