A chromosome-scale genome assembly resource for Myriosclerotinia sulcatula infecting sedge grass (Carex sp.)
<p>The fungus <em>Myriosclerotinia sulcatula</em> is a close relative of the notorious polyphagous plant pathogens <em>Botrytis cinerea</em> and <em>Sclerotinia sclerotiorum</em> but exhibits a host range restricted to plants from the <em>Carex</em>genus (<em>Cyperaceae</em> family). To date, there are no genomic resources available for fungi in the <em>Myriosclerotinia</em>genus. Here, we present a chromosome-scale reference genome assembly for <em>M. sulcatula</em>. The assembly contains 24 contigs with a total length of 43.53 Mbp, with scaffold N<sub>50</sub> of 2,649.7 kbp and N<sub>90</sub> of 1,133.1 kbp. BRAKER-predicted gene models were manually curated using WebApollo, resulting in 11,275 protein-coding genes that we functionally annotated. We provide a high-quality reference genome assembly and annotation for <em>M. sulcatula</em> as a resource for studying evolution and pathogenicity in fungi from the <em>Sclerotiniaceae</em> family. </p>
Data from: Chromosome-level genome assembly of the coastal horseshoe crab (Tachypleus gigas)
<p class="CxSpFirst"><span>Horseshoe crabs, represented by only four extant species, have existed for around 500 million years. However, their existence is now under threat because of anthropogenic activities. The availability of genomic resources for these species will be valuable in planning appropriate conservation measures. Whole-genome sequences are currently available for three species. In this study, we have generated a chromosome‐level genome assembly of the fourth species, the Asian coastal horseshoe crab <i>Tachypleus gigas</i> (genome size 2.0 Gb). The genome assembly has a scaffold N50 value of 140 Mb with approximately 97% of the assembly mapped to 14 scaffolds representing 14 chromosomes of <i>T. gigas</i>. In addition, </span>we have generated the complete mitochondrial genome sequence and deep-coverage transcriptome assemblies for four tissues.<i> </i>A total of 26,159 protein-coding genes were predicted in the genome. The<i> T. gigas</i> genome contains five Hox clusters similar to the mangrove horseshoe crab <i>Carcinoscorpius</i><i> rotundicauda</i>, suggesting that the common ancestor of horseshoe crabs already possessed five Hox clusters. Phylogenomic and divergence time analysis suggested that the American and Asian horseshoe crab lineages shared a common ancestor around the Silurian period (~436 Ma). Comparison of the <i>T. gigas </i>genome with those of other horseshoe crab species with chromosome-level assemblies provided insights into the chromosomal rearrangement events that occurred during the emergence of these species. The genomic resources of <i>T. gigas</i> will be useful for understanding their genetic diversity and population structure and would help in designing strategies for managing and conserving their stocks across Asia.</p>
Chromosome-level genome assembly of the razor clam Sinonovacula constricta (Lamarck, 1818)
<p>Bivalves, a highly diverse and the most evolutionarily successful class of invertebrates native to aquatic habitats, provide valuable molecular resources for understanding the evolutionary adaptation and aquatic ecology. Here we reported a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of the razor clam Sinonovacula constricta using Pacific Bioscience single-molecule real-time sequencing, Illumina paired-end sequencing, 10X Genomics linked-reads and Hi-C reads. The genome size was 1,220.85 Mb, containing scaffold N50 of 65.93 Mb and contig N50 of 976.94 Kb. A total of 899 complete (91.92%) and seven partial (0.72%) matches of the 978 metazoa Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs were determined in this genome assembly. And Hi-C scaffolding of the genome resulted in 19 pseudochromosomes. A total of 28,594 protein-coding genes were predicted in the S. constricta genome, of which 25,413 genes (88.88%) were functionally annotated. In addition, 39.79% of the assembled genome was composed of repetitive sequences, and 4,372 non-coding RNAs were identified. The enrichment analyses of the significantly expanded and contracted genes suggested an evolutionary adaptation of S. constricta to highly stressful living environments. In summary, the genomic resources generated in this work not only provide a valuable reference genome for investigating the molecular mechanisms of S. constricta biological functions and evolutionary.</p>
Eigen scores for human genome assembly GRCh37 Part 3 (Chr9 - Chr16)
<p>Eigen is a spectral approach to the functional annotation of genetic variants in coding and noncoding regions. Eigen makes use of a variety of functional annotations in both coding and noncoding regions (such as protein function scores, evolutionary conservation scores, and epigenetic annotations from ENCODE and Roadmap Epigenomics projects), and combines them into one single measure of functional importance. Eigen is an unsupervised approach, and, unlike many existing methods, is not based on any labelled training data. Eigen produces estimates of predictive accuracy for each functional annotation score, and subsequently uses these estimates of accuracy to derive the aggregate functional score for variants of interest as a weighted linear combination of individual annotations.</p>

A chromosome-level genome assembly of the striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus)
<p>A<span> high-quality genome assembly of a mature female individual of striped catfish was generated by integration of short reads from an Illumina Hiseq Xten platform, long reads from a Nanopore platform, and Hi-C sequencing data. The Illumina short reads were sequenced at 60 X coverage, while the Nanopore long reads covered 85 X of the genome. This assembled genome is </span>742.6<span> Mb in length, with a contig N50 of 3.5 Mb and a scaffold N50 of 29.5 Mb, of which a total of 731.7 Mb reads (98.5%) were anchored on 30 pseudo-chromosomes. Among the totally searched 4,584 BUSCO groups in the popular actinopterygii_odb9 database, 4,279 (93.3%) BUSCO core genes were completely identified. </span></p>
Data for: Benchmarking Oxford Nanopore read assemblers for high-quality molluscan genomes
<p><span>Choosing the optimum assembly approach is essential to achieving a high-quality genome assembly suitable for comparative and evolutionary genomic investigations. Significant recent progress in long-read sequencing technologies such as PacBio and Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) also brought about a large variety of assemblers. Although these have been extensively tested on model species such as <i>Homo sapiens </i>and <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>, such benchmarking has not been done in Mollusca which lacks widely adopted model species. Molluscan genomes are notoriously rich in repeats and are often highly heterozygous, making their assembly challenging. Here, we benchmarked 10 assemblers based on ONT raw reads from two published molluscan genomes of differing properties, the gastropod <i>Chrysomallon squamiferum </i>(356.6Mb, 1.59% heterozygosity) and the bivalve <i>Mytilus coruscus</i> (1593Mb, 1.94% heterozygosity). By optimising the assembly pipeline, we greatly improved both genomes from previously published versions. Our results suggested that 40-50X of ONT reads are sufficient for high-quality genomes, with Flye being the recommended assembler for compact and less heterozygous genomes exemplified by <i>C. squamiferum</i>, while NextDenovo excelled for more repetitive and heterozygous molluscan genomes exemplified by <i>M. coruscus</i>. A phylogenomic analysis utilising the two updated genomes with other 32 published high-quality lophotrochozoan genomes resulted in maximum support across all nodes, and we show that improved genome quality also leads to more complete matrices for phylogenomic inferences. Our benchmarking will ensure the efficiency in future assemblies for molluscs and perhaps also other marine phyla with few genomes available.</span></p>
The genome assembly and annotation of Magnolia biondii Pamp., a phylogenetically, economically, and medicinally important ornamental tree species
<p><em>Magnolia biondii</em> Pamp. (Magnoliaceae, magnoliids) is a phylogenetically, economically, and medicinally important ornamental tree species widely grown and cultivated in the north-temperate regions of China. Contributing a genome sequence for <i>M</i>. <i>biondii</i> will help resolve phylogenetic uncertainty of magnoliids and further understand individual trait evolution in <i>Magnolia</i>. We assembled a chromosome-level reference genome of<i> M. biondii</i> using ~67, ~175, and ~154 Gb of raw DNA sequences generated by Pacific Biosciences Single-molecule Real-time sequencing, 10X genomics Chromium, and Hi-C scaffolding strategies, respectively. The final genome assembly was ∼2.22 Gb with a contig N50 of 269.11 Kb and a BUSCO complete gene ratio of 91.90%. About 89.17% of the genome length was organized to 19 chromosomes, resulting in a scaffold N50 of 92.86 Mb. The genome contained 48,319 protein-coding genes, accounting for 22.97% of the genome length, in contrast to 66.48% of the genome length for the repetitive elements. We confirmed a Magnoliaceae specific WGD event that might have probably occurred shortly after the split of Magnoliaceae and Annonaceae. Functional enrichment of the <i>Magnolia</i> specific and expanded gene families highlighted genes involved in biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, plant-pathogen interaction, and response to stimulus, which may improve ecological fitness and biological adaptability of the lineage. Phylogenomic analyses recovered a sister relationship of magnoliids and Chloranthaceae, which are sister to a clade comprising monocots and eudicots. The genome sequence of <i>M. biondii</i> could empower trait improvement, germplasm conservation, and evolutionary studies on rapid radiation of early angiosperms.</p>
A linkage-based genome assembly for the mosquito Aedes albopictus and identification of chromosomal regions affecting diapause
<p>The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is an invasive vector mosquito of substantial public health concern. The large genome size (~1.19-1.28 Gb by cytofluorometric estimates), comprised of ~68% repetitive DNA sequences, has made it difficult to produce a high-quality genome assembly for this species. We constructed a high-density linkage map for Ae. albopictus based on 111,328 informative SNPs obtained by RNAseq. We then performed a linkage-map anchored reassembly of AalbF2, the genome assembly produced by Palatini et al. (2020). Our re-assembled genome sequence, AalbF3, represents several improvements relative to AalbF2. First, the size of the AalbF3 assembly is 1.45 Gb, almost half the size of AalbF2. Furthermore, relative to AalbF2, AalbF3 contains a higher proportion of complete and single-copy BUSCO genes (84.3%) and a higher proportion of aligned RNAseq reads that map concordantly to a single location of the genome (46%). We demonstrate the utility of AalbF3 by using it as reference for a bulk segregant-based comparative genomics analysis which identifies chromosomal regions with clusters of candidate SNPs putatively associated with photoperiodic diapause, a crucial ecological adaptation underpinning the rapid range expansion and climatic adaptation of Ae. albopictus.</p>
Data from: Reconstructing phylogeny from reduced-representation genome sequencing data without assembly or alignment
Reduced-representation genome sequencing such as RADseq aids the analysis of genomes by reducing the quantity of data, thereby lowering both sequencing costs and computational burdens. RADseq was initially designed for studying genetic variation across genomes at the population level, but has also proved to be suitable for interspecific phylogeny reconstruction. RADseq data pose challenges for standard phylogenomic methods, however, due to incomplete coverage of the genome and large amounts of missing data. Alignment-free methods are both efficient and accurate for phylogenetic reconstructions with whole genomes and are especially practical for non-model organisms; nonetheless, alignment-free methods have not been applied with reduced genome sequencing data. Here, we test a full-genome assembly and alignment-free method, AAF, in application to RADseq data and propose two procedures for reads selection to remove reads from restriction sites that were not found in taxa being compared. We validate these methods using both simulations and real datasets. Reads selection improved the accuracy of phylogenetic construction in every simulated scenario and the two real datasets, making AAF as good or better than a comparable alignment-based method, even though AAF had much lower computational burdens. We also investigated the sources of missing data in RADseq and their effects on phylogeny reconstruction using AAF. The AAF pipeline modified for RADseq or other reduced-representation sequencing data, phyloRAD, is available on github (https://github.com/fanhuan/phyloRAD).
Data from: Chromosome-level assembly reveals extensive rearrangement in saker falcon and budgerigar, but not ostrich, genomes
The number of de novo genome sequence assemblies is increasing exponentially; however, relatively few contain one scaffold/contig per chromosome. Such assemblies are essential for studies of genotype-to-phenotype association, gross genomic evolution, and speciation. Inter-species differences can arise from chromosomal changes fixed during evolution, and we previously hypothesized that a higher fraction of elements under negative selection contributed to avian-specific phenotypes and avian genome organization stability. The objective of this study is to generate chromosome-level assemblies of three avian species (saker falcon, budgerigar, and ostrich) previously reported as karyotypically rearranged compared to most birds. We also test the hypothesis that the density of conserved non-coding elements is associated with the positions of evolutionary breakpoint regions.
Data from: Draft assembly of elite inbred line PH207 provides insights into genomic and transcriptome diversity in maize
Intense artificial selection over the last 100 years has produced elite maize (Zea mays) inbred lines that combine to produce high-yielding hybrids. To further our understanding of how genome and transcriptome variation contribute to the production of high-yielding hybrids, we generated a draft genome assembly of the inbred line PH207 to complement and compare with the existing B73 reference sequence. B73 is a founder of the Stiff Stalk germplasm pool, while PH207 is a founder of Iodent germplasm, both of which have contributed substantially to the production of temperate commercial maize and are combined to make heterotic hybrids. Comparison of these two assemblies revealed over 2,500 genes present in only one of the two genotypes and 136 gene families that have undergone extensive expansion or contraction. Transcriptome profiling revealed extensive expression variation, with as many as 10,564 differentially expressed transcripts and 7,128 transcripts expressed in only one of the two genotypes in a single tissue. Genotype-specific genes were more likely to have tissue/condition-specific expression and lower transcript abundance. The availability of a high-quality genome assembly for the elite maize inbred PH207 expands our knowledge of the breadth of natural genome and transcriptome variation in elite maize inbred lines across heterotic pools.
Data from: De novo genome assembly and annotation of rice sheath rot fungus Sarocladium oryzae reveals genes involved in Helvolic acid and Cerulenin biosynthesis pathways
Background: Sheath rot disease caused by Sarocladium oryzae is an emerging threat for rice cultivation at global level. However, limited information with respect to genomic resources and pathogenesis is a major setback to develop disease management strategies. Considering this fact, we sequenced the whole genome of highly virulent Sarocladium oryzae field isolate, Saro-13 with 82x sequence depth. Results: The genome size of S. oryzae was 32.78 Mb with contig N50 18.07 Kb and 10526 protein coding genes. The functional annotation of protein coding genes revealed that S. oryzae genome has evolved with many expanded gene families of major super family, proteinases, zinc finger proteins, sugar transporters, dehydrogenases/reductases, cytochrome P450, WD domain G-beta repeat and FAD-binding proteins. Gene orthology analysis showed that around 79.80 % of S. oryzae genes were orthologous to other Ascomycetes fungi. The polyketide synthase dehydratase, ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, amine oxidases, and aldehyde dehydrogenase family proteins were duplicated in larger proportion specifying the adaptive gene duplications to varying environmental conditions. Thirty-nine secondary metabolite gene clusters encoded for polyketide synthases, nonribosomal peptide synthase, and terpene cyclases. Protein homology based analysis indicated that nine putative candidate genes were found to be involved in helvolic acid biosynthesis pathway. The genes were arranged in cluster and structural organization of gene cluster was similar to helvolic acid biosynthesis cluster in Metarhizium anisophilae. Around 9.37 % of S. oryzae genes were identified as pathogenicity genes, which are experimentally proven in other phytopathogenic fungi and enlisted in pathogen-host interaction database. In addition, we also report 13212 simple sequences repeats (SSRs) which can be deployed in pathogen identification and population dynamic studies in near future. Conclusions: Large set of pathogenicity determinants and putative genes involved in helvolic acid and cerulenin biosynthesis will have broader implications with respect to Sarocladium disease biology. This is the first genome sequencing report globally and the genomic resources developed from this study will have wider impact worldwide to understand Rice-Sarocladium interaction.
Data from: De novo genome assembly of Geosmithia morbida, the causal agent of thousand cankers disease
Geosmithia morbida is a filamentous ascomycete that causes thousand cankers disease in the eastern black walnut tree. This pathogen is commonly found in the western U.S.; however, recently the disease was also detected in several eastern states where the black walnut lumber industry is concentrated. G. morbida is one of two known phytopathogens within the genus Geosmithia, and it is vectored into the host tree via the walnut twig beetle. We present the first de novo draft genome of G. morbida. It is 26.5 Mbp in length and contains less than 1% repetitive elements. The genome possesses an estimated 6,273 genes, 277 of which are predicted to encode proteins with unknown functions. Approximately 31.5% of the proteins in G. morbida are homologous to proteins involved in pathogenicity, and 5.6% of the proteins contain signal peptides that indicate these proteins are secreted. Several studies have investigated the evolution of pathogenicity in pathogens of agricultural crops; forest fungal pathogens are often neglected because research efforts are focused on food crops. G. morbida is one of the few tree phytopathogens to be sequenced, assembled and annotated. The first draft genome of G. morbida serves as a valuable tool for comprehending the underlying molecular and evolutionary mechanisms behind pathogenesis within the Geosmithia genus.
Data from: Assembly and comparative analysis of transposable elements from low coverage genomic sequence data in Asparagales
The research field of comparative genomics is moving from a focus on genes to a more holistic view including the repetitive complement. This study aimed to characterize relative proportions of the repetitive fraction of large, complex genomes in a non-model system. The monocotyledonous plant order Asparagales (onion, asparagus, agave) comprises some of the largest angiosperm genomes and represents variation in both genome size and structure (karyotype). Anonymous, low coverage, single-end Illumina data from eleven exemplar Asparagales taxa were assembled using a de novo method. Resulting contigs were annotated using a reference library of available monocot repetitive sequences. Mapping reads to contigs provided rough estimates of relative proportions of each type of transposon in the nuclear genome. The results were parsed into general repeat types and synthesized with genome size estimates and a phylogenetic context to describe the pattern of transposable element evolution among these lineages. The major finding is that while some lineages in Asparagales exhibit conservation in repeat proportions, there is generally wide variation in types and frequency of repeats. This approach is an appropriate first step in characterizing repeats in evolutionary lineages with a paucity of genomic resources.
Data from: Genome assembly improvement and mapping convergently evolved skeletal traits in sticklebacks with genotyping-by-sequencing
Marine populations of the threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) have repeatedly colonized and rapidly adapted to freshwater habitats, providing a powerful system to map the genetic architecture of evolved traits. Here, we developed and applied a binned genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) method to build dense genome-wide linkage maps of sticklebacks using two large marine by freshwater F2 crosses of more than 350 fish each. The resulting linkage maps significantly improve the genome assembly by anchoring 78 new scaffolds to chromosomes, reorienting 40 scaffolds, and rearranging scaffolds in 4 locations. In the revised genome assembly, 94.6% of the assembly was anchored to a chromosome. To assess linkage map quality, we mapped quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling lateral plate number, which mapped as expected to a 200-kb genomic region containing Ectodysplasin, as well as a chromosome 7 QTL overlapping a previously identified modifier QTL. Finally, we mapped eight QTL controlling convergently evolved reductions in gill raker length in the two crosses, which revealed that this classic adaptive trait has a surprisingly modular and nonparallel genetic basis.
Data from: De novo assembly of a chromosome-level reference genome of red spotted grouper (Epinephelus akaara) using nanopore sequencing and Hi-C
The red spotted grouper Epinephelus akaara (E. akaara) is one of the most economically important marine fish in China, Japan and Southeast Asia, and is a threatened species. The species is also considered a good model for studies of sex-inversion, development, genetic diversity and immunity. Despite its importance, molecular resources for E. akaara remain limited and no reference genome has been published to date. In this study, we constructed a chromosome-level reference genome of E. akaara by taking advantage of long-read single molecule sequencing and de novo assembly by Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) and Hi-C. A red-spotted grouper genome of 1.135 Gb was assembled from a total of 106.29 Gb polished Nanopore sequence (GridION, ONT), equivalent to 96-fold genome coverage. The assembled genome represents 96.8% completeness (BUSCO) with a contig N50 length of 5.25 Mb and a longest contig of 25.75 Mb. The contigs were clustered and ordered onto 24 pseudo-chromosomes covering approximately 95.55% of the genome assembly with Hi-C data, with a scaffold N50 length of 46.03 Mb. The genome contained 43.02% repeat sequences and 5,480 non-coding RNAs. Furthermore, after mining several RNA-seq datasets, 23,809 (99.5%) genes were functionally annotated from a total of 23,924 predicted protein-coding sequences. The high-quality chromosome-level reference genome of E. akaara was assembled for the first time and will be a valuable resource for molecular breeding and functional genomics studies of red-spotted grouper in the future.
