Chromosome-scale genome assembly of Phyllanthus emblica L. ‘Yingyu’
Lumin Zhang and others
Phyllanthus emblica L. is an edible plant with medicinal properties native to the dry-hot valley of Yunnan, China. Here, we report a de novo chromosome-scale genome of P. emblica wild type ‘Yingyu’. ‘Yingyu’ is an octopoid plant with a total of 104 chromosomes. In total, we assembled and clustered ...

Genome assembly of the temporary socially parasitic spiny ant Polyrhachis lamellidens and its host Camponotus japonicus
Hironori Iwai and others
Polyrhachis lamellidens is a temporary socially parasitic ant. The newly mated P. lamellidens queen takes over a colony of several Camponotus ant species and uses the labour of the host workers in the early stages of social parasitism. To facilitate genomic resources for these species, we assembled ...

Comparative transcriptome and mutation analyses of the pancreatic islets of a rat model of obese type 2 diabetes identifies a frequently distributed nonsense mutation in the lipocalin 2 gene
Norihide Yokoi and others
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a multifactorial disease caused by insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells, but the precise mechanisms remain to be elucidated. To identify primary genetic factors of T2D in a rat model, we performed comparative transcriptome and mutation ...
Research Article
Chromosome-level genome assembly of Pontederia cordata L. provides insights into its rapid adaptation and variation of flower colours
Jia-Le Wang and others
Pontederia cordata L. is an aquatic ornamental plant native to the Americas but has been widely distributed in South Asia, Australia, and Europe. The genetic mechanisms behind its rapid adaptation and spread have not yet been well understood. To understand the mechanisms for its rapid adaptation, ...

Identification of a candidate sex determination region and sex-specific molecular markers based on whole-genome re‑sequencing in the sea star Asterias amurensis
Yanlin Wang and others
Sex determination systems are diverse in echinoderms, however, our understanding is still very limited in this research field, especially for Asteroidea species. The northern Pacific seastar, Asterias amurensis , has attracted widespread concern due to its population outbreaks and high-risk ...
Research Article
Genome-resolved analysis of Serratia marcescens strain SMTT infers niche specialization as a hydrocarbon-degrader
Amanda C Ramdass and Sephra N Rampersad
Bacteria that are chronically exposed to high levels of pollutants demonstrate genomic and corresponding metabolic diversity that complement their strategies for adaptation to hydrocarbon-rich environments. Whole genome sequencing was carried out to infer functional traits of Serratia marcescens ...
