Abstract
The genome of the land slug Deroceras laeve was sequenced, assembled up to the chromosome level, and annotated for non-coding RNAs and protein-coding genes. Due to the small size of this pulmonate species, ease of laboratory culture, cosmopolitan distribution, as well as recently released anatomical and histological resources, this genomic resource creates new opportunities for the investigation of the largely unexplored mechanisms of regeneration in mollusks. Moreover, it also makes this slug an attractive model for functional genomics and evolutionary biology.
期刊介绍:
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics provides a forum for the publication of high‐quality foundational research, particularly research that generates useful genetic and genomic information such as genome maps, single gene studies, genome‐wide association and QTL studies, as well as genome reports, mutant screens, and advances in methods and technology. The Editorial Board of G3 believes that rapid dissemination of these data is the necessary foundation for analysis that leads to mechanistic insights.
G3, published by the Genetics Society of America, meets the critical and growing need of the genetics community for rapid review and publication of important results in all areas of genetics. G3 offers the opportunity to publish the puzzling finding or to present unpublished results that may not have been submitted for review and publication due to a perceived lack of a potential high-impact finding. G3 has earned the DOAJ Seal, which is a mark of certification for open access journals, awarded by DOAJ to journals that achieve a high level of openness, adhere to Best Practice and high publishing standards.
