Recent advancements in plant regeneration and synthetic polyploid creation have been documented in Gossypium arboreum ZB-1. These developments make ZB-1 a potential model within the Gossypium genus for investigating gene function and polyploidy. This work generated the sequence and annotation of the ZB-1 genome. The contig-level genome was constructed using the PacBio high-fidelity reads, encompassing 81 contigs with an N50 length of 112.12 Mb. The Hi-C data assisted the construction of the chromosome-level genome, which consists of 13 pseudo-chromosomes and 39 un-anchored contigs, with a total length of about 1.67 Gb. Repetitive sequences accounted for about 69.7% of the genome in length. Based on ab initio and evidence-based prediction, we have identified 48,021 protein-coding genes in the ZB-1 genome. Comparative genomics analysis revealed conserved gene content and arrangement between ZB-1 and G. arboreum SXY1. The single nucleotide polymorphism occurrence rate between ZB-1 and SXY1 was about 0.54 per 1,000 nucleotides. This study enriched the genomic resources for further exploration into cotton regeneration and polyploidy mechanisms.

Background: Silver arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum) is a basal fish species with sexual monomorphism, while its sex determination mechanism has been poorly understood, posing a significant challenge to its captive breeding efforts.
Results: We constructed two high-quality chromosome-level genome assemblies for both female and male silver arowana, with scaffold N50 values over 10 Mb. Combining re-sequencing data of 109 individuals, we identified a female-specific region, which was localized in a non-coding region, i.

The cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae, is a major pest on Brassicaceae plants, causing significant yield losses annually. However, the lack of genomic resources has hindered progress in understanding this pest at the molecular level. Here, we present a high-quality, chromosomal-level genome assembly for B.

Basil, Ocimum basilicum L., is a widely cultivated aromatic herb, prized for its culinary and medicinal uses, predominantly owing to its unique aroma, primarily determined by eugenol for Genovese cultivars or methyl chavicol for Thai cultivars. To date, a comprehensive basil reference genome has been lacking, with only a fragmented draft available.

The order Diptera (true flies) holds promise as a model taxon in evolutionary developmental biology due to the inclusion of the model organism, , and the ability to cost-effectively rear many species in laboratories. One of them, the scuttle fly (Phoridae) has been used in evolutionary developmental biology for 30 years and is an excellent phylogenetic intermediate between fruit flies and mosquitoes but remains underdeveloped in genomic resources. Here, we present a chromosome-level assembly and annotation of and transcriptomes of 9 embryonic and 4 postembryonic stages.

Goosegrass, belonging to the genus Eleusine within the Chloridoideae subfamily, is often one of the problematic weeds with strong invasiveness, competing with crops for essential survival resources. Although a chromosome-level genome assembly of E. indica from China was published last year, the present research focuses on a population of E.
