Discovery of novel thermophiles has shown promising applications in the field of biotechnology. Due to their thermal stability, they can survive the harsh processes in the industries, which make them important to be characterized and studied. Members of Anoxybacillus are alkaline tolerant thermophiles and have been extensively isolated from manure, dairy-processed plants, and geothermal hot springs. This article reports the assembled data of an aerobic bacterium Anoxybacillus sp. strain MB8, isolated from the Tattapani hot springs in Central India, where the 16S rRNA gene shares an identity of 97% (99% coverage) with Anoxybacillus kamchatkensis strain G10. The de novo assembly and annotation performed on the genome of Anoxybacillus sp. strain MB8 comprises of 2,898,780 bp (in 190 contigs) with a GC content of 41.8% and includes 2,976 protein-coding genes,1 rRNA operon, 73 tRNAs, 1 tm-RNA and 10 CRISPR arrays. The predicted protein-coding genes have been classified into 21 eggNOG categories. The KEGG Automated Annotation Server (KAAS) analysis indicated the presence of assimilatory sulfate reduction pathway, nitrate reducing pathway, and genes for glycoside hydrolases (GHs) and glycoside transferase (GTs). GHs and GTs hold widespread applications, in the baking and food industry for bread manufacturing, and in the paper, detergent and cosmetic industry. Hence, Anoxybacillus sp. strain MB8 holds the potential to be screened and characterized for such commercially relevant enzymes.

Pseudocercospora macadamiae causes husk spot in macadamia in Australia. Lack of genomic resources for this pathogen has restricted acquiring knowledge on the mechanism of disease development, spread, and its role in fruit abscission. To address this gap, we sequenced the genome of P. macadamiae. The sequence was de novo assembled into a draft genome of 40 Mb, which is comparable to closely related species in the family Mycosphaerellaceae. The draft genome comprises 212 scaffolds, of which 99 scaffolds are over 50 kb. The genome has a 49% GC content and is predicted to contain 15,430 protein-coding genes. This draft genome sequence is the first for P. macadamiae and represents a valuable resource for understanding genome evolution and plant disease resistance.

AbstractThe red raspberry, Rubus idaeus, is widely distributed in all temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and North America and is a major commercial fruit valued for its taste, high antioxidant and vitamin content. However, Rubus breeding is a long and slow process hampered by limited genomic and molecular resources. Genomic resources such as a complete genome sequencing and transcriptome will be of exceptional value to improve research and breeding of this high value crop. Using a hybrid sequence assembly approach including data from both long and short sequence reads, we present the first assembly of the Rubus idaeus genome (Joan J. variety). The de novo assembled genome consists of 2,145 scaffolds with a genome completeness of 95.3% and an N50 score of 638 KB. Leveraging a linkage map, we anchored 80.1% of the genome onto seven chromosomes. Using over 1 billion paired-end RNAseq reads, we annotated 35,566 protein coding genes with a transcriptome completeness score of 97.2%. The Rubus idaeus genome provides an important new resource for researchers and breeders.

Abstract Background Diospyros oleifera Cheng, of the family Ebenaceae, is an economically important tree. Phylogenetic analyses indicate that D. oleifera is closely related to Diospyros kaki Thunb. and could be used as a model plant for studies of D. kaki. Therefore, development of genomic resources of D. oleifera will facilitate auxiliary assembly of the hexaploid persimmon genome and elucidate the molecular mechanisms of important traits. Findings The D. oleifera genome was assembled with 443.6 Gb of raw reads using the Pacific Bioscience Sequel and Illumina HiSeq X Ten platforms. The final draft genome was ∼812.3 Mb and had a high level of continuity with N50 of 3.36 Mb. Fifteen scaffolds corresponding to the 15 chromosomes were assembled to a final size of 721.5 Mb using 332 scaffolds, accounting for 88.81% of the genome. Repeat sequences accounted for 54.8% of the genome. By de novo sequencing and analysis of homology with other plant species, 30,530 protein-coding genes with an average transcript size of 7,105.40 bp were annotated; of these, 28,580 protein-coding genes (93.61%) had conserved functional motifs or terms. In addition, 171 candidate genes involved in tannin synthesis and deastringency in persimmon were identified; of these chalcone synthase (CHS) genes were expanded in the D. oleifera genome compared with Diospyros lotus, Camellia sinensis, and Vitis vinifera. Moreover, 186 positively selected genes were identified, including chalcone isomerase (CHI) gene, a key enzyme in the flavonoid-anthocyanin pathway. Phylogenetic tree analysis indicated that the split of D. oleifera and D. lotus likely occurred 9.0 million years ago. In addition to the ancient γ event, a second whole-genome duplication event occurred in D. oleifera and D. lotus. Conclusions We generated a high-quality chromosome-level draft genome for D. oleifera, which will facilitate assembly of the hexaploid persimmon genome and further studies of major economic traits in the genus Diospyros.

Abstract Background Dalbergia odorifera T. Chen (Fabaceae) is an International Union for Conservation of Nature red-listed tree. This tree is of high medicinal and commercial value owing to its officinal, insect-proof, durable heartwood. However, there is a lack of genome reference, which has hindered development of studies on the heartwood formation. Findings We presented the first chromosome-scale genome assembly of D. odorifera obtained on the basis of Illumina paired-end sequencing, Pacific Biosciences single-molecule real-time sequencing, 10x Genomics linked reads, and Hi-C technology. We assembled 97.68% of the 653.45 Mb D. odorifera genome with scaffold N50 and contig sizes of 56.16 and 5.92 Mb, respectively. Ten super-scaffolds corresponding to the 10 chromosomes were assembled, with the longest scaffold reaching 79.61 Mb. Repetitive elements account for 54.17% of the genome, and 30,310 protein-coding genes were predicted from the genome, of which ∼92.6% were functionally annotated. The phylogenetic tree showed that D. odorifera diverged from the ancestor of Arabidopsis thaliana and Populus trichocarpa and then separated from Glycine max and Cajanus cajan. Conclusions We sequence and reveal the first chromosome-level de novo genome of D. odorifera. These studies provide valuable genomic resources for the research of heartwood formation in D. odorifera and other timber trees. The high-quality assembled genome can also be used as reference for comparative genomics analysis and future population genetic studies of D. odorifera.

Eucalyptus polybractea is a small, multi-stemmed tree, which is widely cultivated in Australia for the production of Eucalyptus oil. We report the hybrid assembly of the E. polybractea genome utilizing both short- and long-read technology. We generated 44 Gb of Illumina HiSeq short reads and 8 Gb of Nanopore long reads, representing approximately 83 and 15 times genome coverage, respectively. The hybrid-assembled genome, after polishing, contained 24,864 scaffolds with an accumulated length of 523 Mb (N50 = 40.3 kb; BUSCO-calculated genome completeness of 94.3%). The genome contained 35,385 predicted protein-coding genes detected by combining homology-based and de novo approaches. We have provided the first assembled genome based on hybrid sequences from the highly diverse Eucalyptus subgenus Symphyomyrtus, and revealed the value of including long-reads from Nanopore technology for enhancing the contiguity of the assembled genome, as well as for improving its completeness. We anticipate that the E. polybractea genome will be an invaluable resource supporting a range of studies in genetics, population genomics and evolution of related species in Eucalyptus.

AbstractBackgroundThe wheel tree (Trochodendron aralioides) is one of only 2 species in the basal eudicot order Trochodendrales. Together with Tetracentron sinense, the family is unique in having secondary xylem without vessel elements, long considered to be a primitive character also found in Amborella and Winteraceae. Recent studies however have shown that Trochodendraceae belong to basal eudicots and demonstrate that this represents an evolutionary reversal for the group. Trochodendron aralioides is widespread in cultivation and popular for use in gardens and parks.FindingsWe assembled the T. aralioides genome using a total of 679.56 Gb of clean reads that were generated using both Pacific Biosciences and Illumina short-reads in combination with 10XGenomics and Hi-C data. Nineteen scaffolds corresponding to 19 chromosomes were assembled to a final size of 1.614 Gb with a scaffold N50 of 73.37 Mb in addition to 1,534 contigs. Repeat sequences accounted for 64.226% of the genome, and 35,328 protein-coding genes with an average of 5.09 exons per gene were annotated using de novo, RNA-sequencing, and homology-based approaches. According to a phylogenetic analysis of protein-coding genes, T. aralioides diverged in a basal position relative to core eudicots, ∼121.8–125.8 million years ago.ConclusionsTrochodendron aralioides is the first chromosome-scale genome assembled in the order Trochodendrales. It represents the largest genome assembled to date in the basal eudicot grade, as well as the closest order relative to the core-eudicots, as the position of Buxales remains unresolved. This genome will support further studies of wood morphology and floral evolution, and will be an essential resource for understanding rapid changes that took place at the base of the Eudicot tree. Finally, it can further genome-assisted improvement for cultivation and conservation efforts of the wheel tree.
