High-Quality de novo Chromosome-Level Genome Assembly of a Single Bombyx mori With BmNPV Resistance by a Combination of PacBio Long-Read Sequencing, Illumina Short-Read Sequencing, and Hi-C Sequencing

Abstract: The reference genomes of Bombyx mori (B. mori), Silkworm Knowledge-based database (SilkDB) and SilkBase, have served as the gold standard for nearly two decades. Their use has fundamentally shaped model organisms and accelerated relevant studies on lepidoptera. However, the current reference genomes of B. mori do not accurately represent the full set of genes for any single strain. As new genome-wide sequencing technologies have emerged and the cost of high-throughput sequencing technology has fallen, it is no… Show more

“…However, it has not been validated and does not uncover the other three misassembled points. Moreover, although another de novo genome assembly of a different silkworm strain has been constructed previously using a combination of PacBio long-read sequencing and Hi-C, it contained many structural differences against the p50T assemblies, indicating that it contained many misscaffoldings ( Tang et al . 2021 ).…”

“…However, why do we not observe an elevated rate of chromosome rearrangements in butterflies and moths in general? Bombyx mori , for example, has a similar repeat density as Leptidea (Tang et al, 2021 ) and shares the potential for inverted meiosis (Banno et al, 1995 ). Still B. mori , and the majority of lepidopteran taxa with chromosome structure information, have retained the ancestral lepidopteran karyotype (Ahola et al, 2014 ; Pringle et al, 2007 ).…”
