- Scorpions are an ancient group of arachnids, over 400 million years old, and one of the first land-dwelling animals, but research on their evolution is limited due to the lack of genomic data.
- This study used advanced sequencing techniques to create the first detailed chromosome-level genome assembly for the desert hairy scorpion, Hadrurus arizonensis, yielding a genome size of 2.23 Gb and reorganizing the data into nine chromosomes.
- The assembly identified a high number of protein-coding genes and complete arthropod orthologs, making it a valuable resource for understanding scorpion evolution, arachnid relationships, and for future genomic studies.
