The Plasmodiophorida (Phytomyxea, Rhizaria) are a group of protists that infect plants. Of this group, Spongospora subterranea causes major problems for the potato industry by causing powdery scab and root galling of potatoes and as vector for the Potato mop-top virus (PMTV) (genus Pomovirus, family Virgaviridae). A single tuber isolate (SSUBK13) of this uncultivable protist was used to generate DNA for Illumina sequencing. The data were assembled to a draft genome of 28.08 Mb consisting of 2,340 contigs and an L50 of 280. A total of 10,778 genes were predicted and 93% of the BUSCO genes were detected. The presented genome assembly is only the second genome of a plasmodiophorid. The data will accelerate functional genomics to study poorly understood interaction of plasmodiophorids and their hosts.

16S rRNA genes sequencing has been used for routine species identification and phylogenetic studies of bacteria. However, the high sequence similarity between some species and heterogeneity within copies at the intragenomic level could be a limiting factor of discriminatory ability. In this study, we aimed to compare 16S rRNA genes sequences and genome-based analysis (core SNPs and ANI) for identification of non-pathogenic .

Cotton is the world's most important natural fiber crop and serves as an ideal model for studying plant genome evolution, cell differentiation, elongation, and cell wall biosynthesis. The first draft of the cotton genome for Gossypium raimondii, completed in 2012, marked the beginning of global efforts in cotton genomics. Over the past decade, the cotton research community has continued to assemble and refine genomes for both wild and cultivated Gossypium species.

The incidence of gastroesophageal cancers is rising, driven, in part, by an increasing burden of risk factors of obesity and gastroesophageal reflux. Despite efforts to address these risk factors, and a growing interest in methods of population screening, the bulk of these tumours are unresectable at diagnosis. In this setting, effective systemic treatments are paramount to improve survival and quality of life.

Rosa laevigata is an excellent rose germplasm, highly resistant to aphid, and immune to both rose black spot and powdery mildew disease. It is also a well-known edible plant with a long history of medicinal use in China, having the effects of improving kidney function, inhibiting arteriosclerosis, and reducing inflammation. In this study, we assembled a high-quality chromosome-scale genome for R.
