Abstract
The coffee berry borer (CBB) Hypothenemus hampei was first described in Africa in 1867 and has spread to all major coffee-producing regions worldwide, including Jamaica. Using long-read sequencing, we produced a new high-quality reference genome (172.7 Mb) for the Jamaican strain of the CBB, with 93% of the genome assembled into 14 scaffolds. Whole genome sequencing of pooled samples from different populations across Jamaica showed that the CBB harbors low levels of genetic diversity alongside an excess of low-frequency alleles, indicative of a recent genetic bottleneck. The analyses also showed a recent surge in the activity of transposable elements (TEs), particularly LINE/R1 and LTR/Gypsy elements, within CBB populations. Our findings offer first insights into the evolutionary genomics of CBB populations in Jamaica, highlighting the potential role of TEs in shaping the genome of this important pest species.

About the journal
Genome Biology and Evolution (GBE) publishes leading original research at the interface between evolutionary biology and genomics. Papers considered for publication report novel evolutionary findings that concern natural genome diversity, population genomics, the structure, function, organisation and expression of genomes, comparative genomics, proteomics, and environmental genomic interactions. Major evolutionary insights from the fields of computational biology, structural biology, developmental biology, and cell biology are also considered, as are theoretical advances in the field of genome evolution. GBE’s scope embraces genome-wide evolutionary investigations at all taxonomic levels and for all forms of life — within populations or across domains. Its aims are to further the understanding of genomes in their evolutionary context and further the understanding of evolution from a genome-wide perspective.
