Genome assembly and annotation of the European earwig Forficula auricularia (subspecies B)

Abstract: The European earwig Forficula auricularia is an important model for studies of maternal care, sexual selection, sociality and host-parasite interactions. However, detailed genetic investigations of this species are hindered by a lack of genomic resources. Here we present a high-quality hybrid genome assembly for F. auricularia using Nanopore long-reads and 10x linked-reads. The final assembly is 1.06 Gb in length with 31.03% GC content. It consists of 919 scaffolds with an N50 of 12.55 Mb. Half of the genome i… Show more

“…Genome size was estimated with flow cytometry analysis at Flowjoanna (Palmerston North, New Zealand). Two whole worm samples were prepared following a protocol described in our earlier study ( Bhattarai et al 2022 ). Rooster red blood cells from the domestic chicken ( Gallus gallus ) were used a reference.…”

“…We conducted a comparative genomics analysis encompassing all published and one new genome of parasitoid worms, including three mermithid species ( Romanomermis culicivorax, Romanomermis iyengari, Mermis nigrescens ), and four nematomorph species ( Acutogordius australiensis, Gordionus montsenyensis, Gordius aquaticus , and Nectonema munidae ) (Guiglielmoni et al . 2024; Bhattarai et al . 2024; Eleftheriadi et al .…”

“…Flow cytometry was carried on two whole worms at Flowjoanna (Palmerston North, NZ, USA). The sample preparation protocol for the flowcytometry is described in our earlier study (Bhattarai et al 2022). Rooster red blood cells (RRBC) from the domestic chicken ( Gallus gallus ) was used a reference.…”
