Article Abstract
Maruca vitrata, a significant pest of legumes, impacts food security in Asia and Africa. This study presents a high-quality genome assembly of M. vitrata, utilizing advanced sequencing technologies including Nanopore long-read, MGI short-read, and Hi-C. The genome, totaling 482.3 Mb with a contig N50 of 2.91 Mb, features 41.58% repetitive sequences and encompasses 13,320 protein-coding genes. We performed comparative genomic analyses to affirm the accuracy and completeness of the protein sequences assembled, ensuring the assembly's integrity. Additionally, the annotation of 83 Cytochrome P450 (CYP) genes further confirms the comprehensive nature of the genome assembly and its annotations. This genome assembly not only deepens our understanding of M. vitrata biology but also supports the development of sustainable pest management strategies. This research highlights the importance of genomics in advancing sustainable agricultural solutions through innovative pest management approaches.
