Abstract

We present a chromosome classifier for automated karyotyping of banded chromosomes which uses a multi-layer perception neural network. Two network configurations have been investigated. The resulting classifiers have been trained and tested on data from three different data sets covering a range of data quality. Classification results compare very favourably with those obtained using a highly optimised parametric classifier.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of a cosmopolitan marine harmful algal bloom diatom species Chaetoceros socialis (Chaetocerotaceae).

Chaetoceros socialis is a cosmopolitan diatom species that is crucial for maintaining marine ecosystem structure and driving elemental cycles. C. socialis can form harmful algal blooms (HABs) that may cause a negative impact on the marine ecosystems. Whole-genome information for C. socialis is still unavailable, which may hinder more targeted studies on its ecological adaptive responses and evolutionary drivers. To address this gap, we employed cutting-edge genomic technologies including PacBio single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing and high-throughput chromatin conformation capture (Hi-C) to achieve the first chromosome-level genome assembly of C. socialis. The assembled genome is 60.22 Mb in size with a scaffold N50 of 7.81 Mb and has been anchored to eight pseudochromosomes. A total of 13,378 protein-coding genes were predicted, of which 12,069 (90.22%) were functionally annotated. This high-quality genomic resource provides a fundamental data platform for systematically elucidating the ecological adaptation mechanisms of C. socialis.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of the Vermilion Snapper (Rhomboplites aurorubens).

Vermilion Snapper (Rhomboplites aurorubens, Lutjanidae) inhabits deep waters (20-300 m) from North America to Brazil and supports significant commercial and recreational fisheries. Despite its economic importance, the understanding of its basic biology remains limited. Classified as Vulnerable on the Red List due to overfishing, populations have declined by over 30% in recent generations. We assembled and annotated the first chromosome-scale genome of this species by combining PacBio long reads, Illumina short reads, and Hi-C data. The resulting assembly is 987.5 Mbp, with a scaffold N50 size of 41.3 Mbp, and includes 135 contigs clustered and ordered onto 24 chromosomes with 34,496 predicted genes. The high-quality assembly and annotation contained about 98% complete and single-copy BUSCO genes. It is the most complete, chromosome-level genome assembly of an Atlantic snapper to date. The genome assembly and supporting data are valuable tools for ecological and comparative genomics studies of snappers and other valuable commercial species within the family.

TEL1, a gene involved in controlling telomere length in S. cerevisiae, is homologous to the human ataxia telangiectasia gene.

Yeast chromosomes terminate in tracts of simple repetitive DNA (poly[G1-3T]). Mutations in the gene TEL1 result in shortened telomeres. Sequence analysis of TEL1 indicates that it encodes a very large (322 kDa) protein with amino acid motifs found in phosphatidylinositol/protein kinases. The closest homolog to TEL1 is the human ataxia telangiectasia gene.
