Gap-free telomere-to-telomere haplotype assembly of the tomato hind (Cephalopholis sonnerati).

The tomato hind (Cephalopholis sonnerati) is an emerging economically important grouper in recent years. With the increasing maturity of sequencing technologies and assembly methodologies, a higher quality reference genome has become both accessible and necessary. In this study, we present two telomere-to-telomere (T2T) gap-free haplotype assemblies of the tomato hind with lengths of 1039.

Datasets of fungal diversity and pseudo-chromosomal genomes of mangrove rhizosphere soil in China.

With climate change and anthropic influence on the coastal ecosystems, mangrove ecosystems are disappearing at an alarming rate. Accordingly, it becomes important to track, study, record and store the mangrove microbial community considering their ecological importance and potential for biotechnological applications. Here, we provide information on mangrove fungal community composition and diversity in mangrove ecosystems with different plant species and from various locations differing in relation to anthropic influences.

Horizontal gene transfer and symbiotic microorganisms regulate the adaptive evolution of intertidal algae, Porphyra sense lato.

Intertidal algae may adapt to environmental challenges by acquiring genes from other organisms and relying on symbiotic microorganisms. Here, we obtained a symbiont-free and chromosome-level genome of Pyropia haitanensis (47.2 Mb), a type of intertidal algae, by using multiple symbiont screening methods.

Chromosomal-level genome of velvet bean (Mucuna pruriens) provides resources for L-DOPA synthetic research and development.

Mucuna pruriens, commonly called velvet bean, is the main natural source of levodopa (L-DOPA), which has been marketed as a psychoactive drug for the clinical management of Parkinson's disease and dopamine-responsive dystonia. Although velvet bean is a very important plant species for food and pharmaceutical manufacturing, the lack of genetic and genomic information about this species severely hinders further molecular research thereon and biotechnological development. Here, we reported the first velvet bean genome, with a size of 500.

The complete chloroplast genome of a shrub species, (Smilacaceae) from Guangdong, China.

is a perennial woody scandent shrub, of which the dried aerial tuber has been used as Chinese medicine. Here, we sequenced and assembled its complete chloroplast (cp) genome. The genome is 157,889 bp in length and has a typical quadripartite structure.

Chromosome-level genome of Himalayan yew provides insights into the origin and evolution of the paclitaxel biosynthetic pathway.

Taxus, commonly known as yew, is a well-known gymnosperm with great ornamental and medicinal value. In this study, by assembling a chromosome-level genome of the Himalayan yew (Taxus wallichiana) with 10.9 Gb in 12 chromosomes, we revealed that tandem duplication acts as the driving force of gene family evolution in the yew genome, resulting in the main genes for paclitaxel biosynthesis, i.

Draft Genomes and Comparative Analysis of Seven Mangrove Rhizosphere-Associated Fungi Isolated From and .

Mangroves are one of the most productive and biologically diverse ecosystems, with unique plants, animals, and microorganisms adapted to the harsh coastal environments. Although fungi are widely distributed in the mangrove ecosystem and they are playing an important role in the decomposition of organic matter, their genomic profiles are still poorly understood. In this study, we isolated seven Ascomycota fungi ( F012, F014, F023, F032, F033, F034, and F035) from rhizospheres of two mangroves of and .
