Most organisms have evolved a circadian central clock to anticipate daily environmental changes in light, temperature, and mate availability. It is now understood that multiple clocks exist in organisms to regulate the functions of specific organs. Epidemiological studies in humans reported that disruption of the circadian rhythms caused by sleep deprivation is linked to the onset of immune-related conditions, suggesting the importance of circadian regulation of immunity. Mechanistic studies to define how circadian clocks and immune responses interact have profound implications for human health. However, elucidating the clocks and their tissue-specific functions has been challenging in mammals. Many studies using simple model organisms such as Drosophila melanogaster have been pioneering in discovering that the clock controls innate immune responses and immune challenges can impact circadian rhythms and/or their outcomes. In this review, we will report genetic studies using the humble fruit fly that identified the existence of reciprocal interactions between the circadian pathway and innate immune signaling, contributing to elucidate mechanisms in the growing field of chrono-immunology.","PeriodicalId":12809,"journal":{"name":"Genome","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143763889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, such approaches involve sequencing a large volume of both Pacific Biosciences high-fidelity (HiFi) and Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencing reads. Along with this, third-generation sequencing techniques are rapidly advancing, increasing the available length and accuracy. To reduce the final cost of genome assembly, here we investigated the possibility of assembly from low-coverage samples and with only ONT corrected by Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) sequencing reads. We demonstrated that haploid ONT-based assembly approaches corrected by NGS can achieve performance metrics comparable to more expensive hybrid approaches based on HiFi sequencing. We investigated the assembly of different chromosomes and the low-coverage performance of state-of-the-art hybrid assembly tools, including Verkko and Hifiasm, as well as ONT-based assemblers such as Shasta and Flye. We found that even with one-contig T2T assembly Verkko and Hifiasm still have numerous misassemblies within centromere. Therefore, we recommend using a combination of regular R9 or simplex R10 ONT reads and accurate NGS reads for assembly without aiming for T2T completeness. Additionally, we rigorously evaluated the performance of MGI, Illumina, and stLFR NGS technologies across various aspects of hybrid genome assembly, including pre-assembly correction, haplotype phasing, and polishing.","PeriodicalId":12809,"journal":{"name":"Genome","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143735787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the COVID-19 social distancing in Brazil, we launched a citizen science initiative via social media to locate remaining bellicose bumblebee populations, leading to the collection of a specimen for genome sequencing. Analysis of the novel genome revealed lower genetic diversity in the bellicose bumblebee compared to a widespread related species (B. pascuorum). However, the absence of extensive runs of homozygosity indicated a lack of recent inbreeding, offering a promising perspective for the conservation of this species. Furthermore, demographic history analysis indicates population expansion during past glacial periods, in contrast to Palearctic bumblebees which suffered a stark decline during glaciations. Our findings provide invaluable information for the conservation of this species and for further studies about its biology and evolution, particularly under a scenario of rapid environmental change.","PeriodicalId":12809,"journal":{"name":"Genome","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143398740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Beauv. (formerly classified as Brachiaria (Trin.) Griseb.) is a genus of African perennial grasses that is extensively cultivated in tropical countries for cattle nutrition. Three of the most economically relevant species, Urochloa brizantha, U. decumbens, and U. ruziziensis, form the 'brizantha' agamic complex, which includes allopolyploid series with distinct subgenomes. Investigating the composition and organization of repetitive DNA, a major component of grass genomes, can provide insights into their genomic relationships and evolutionary history. This study aimed to characterize the repetitive DNA landscape of selected Urochloa species belonging to the 'brizantha' agamic complex; identify and compare major repeat classes across species and evaluate their potential as cytogenetic markers on mitotic chromosomes using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Clustering analysis revealed that repetitive DNA constitutes 56-65% of the genomes, with Ty3/Gypsy retrotransposons, particularly the Athila and Retand lineages, representing the most abundant repeat class. U. decumbens exhibited the highest proportion of Ty3/Gypsy retrotransposons, while U. ruziziensis had the highest satellite DNA content. The chromosomal location of representative satellites (UroSat-1a, UroSat-2a, and UroSat-3) was determined in all three species via FISH. UroSat-1a was detected in all centromeres, while UroSat-2a and UroSat-3 signals varied in number and position. Our findings validate the use of satDNA as cytogenetic markers in the Urochloa 'brizantha' agamic complex and revealed genomic relationships among different species and ploidy levels.","PeriodicalId":12809,"journal":{"name":"Genome","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143070848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, processing or storage of metabolites from the same pathway can occur in multiple organelles. Thus, spatially separated organelles need to cooperate functionally. Coordination between organelles in different specialized cells is also needed, with shared metabolites passed via circulation. Peroxisomes are membrane-bounded organelles responsible for cellular redox and lipid metabolism in eukaryotic cells. Peroxisomes coordinate with other organelles including mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes, and lipid droplets. This functional coordination requires, or is at least enhanced by, direct contact between peroxisomes and other organelles. Peroxisome dysfunction in humans leads to multiorgan effects including neurological, metabolic, developmental, and age-related diseases. Thus, increased understanding of peroxisome coordination with other organelles, especially cells in various organs is essential. Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) has emerged recently as an effective animal model for understanding peroxisomes. Here we review current knowledge of pathways regulating coordination between peroxisomes with other organelles in flies, speculating about analogous roles for conserved Drosophila genes encoding proteins with known organelle coordinating roles in other species.","PeriodicalId":12809,"journal":{"name":"Genome","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142545118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each species typically has a consistent number of chromosomes within its lineage. Ants, however, display remarkable diversity in chromosome numbers, and previous studies have shown that this variation may correlate with ant diversity. As ants evolved, various karyotypes emerged, primarily through chromosomal fissions, leading to an increase in chromosome number and a decrease in chromosome size. In this study, we investigate chromosome evolution in ants from a phylogenetic perspective using ancestral reconstruction. Our analysis indicates that the most recent common ancestor of ants had an ancestral haploid chromosome number of 11, likely composed of biarmed chromosomes. The bimodal distribution of karyotypes and the trend toward increased chromosome numbers align with previous assumptions. However, both dysploidy and ploidy changes have been indicated as likely mechanisms of chromosome number evolution. Descending dysploidy occurs consistently throughout the phylogeny, while changes in ploidy are believed to occur occasionally within the subfamilies during genus diversification. We propose, based on our results and previous evidence (e.g., genome size in ants), that both fusions and fissions contribute equally to karyotype changes in Formicidae. Additionally, changes in ploidy should not be fully ignored, as they can occur across specific lineages.","PeriodicalId":12809,"journal":{"name":"Genome","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142835349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
