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.

'Mass-murder' of ORFs from three regions of chromosome XI from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The complete sequence of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae reveals the presence of many new genes, many of which are without homologs in databases. Characterisation of these genes by novel methods includes systematic deletion followed by phenotypic analysis of mutant strains. We have developed a hierarchical strategy for such a functional analysis of genes, in which the primary phenotypic screening is performed on groups of contiguous genes which are then reinvestigated down to the single gene level. This strategy is applied to the whole chromosome XI as part of EUROFAN (the EUROpean Functional ANalysis) program, and we present here our results on a group of 22 genes from this chromosome. This sample is representative of the results that are emerging for the whole chromosome. Out of the 22 genes deleted, three were shown to be essential, and another three genes confer a mutant growth phenotype to cells when deleted. All phenotypes have been complemented. These figures are in accordance with the previously published fraction of lethal and growth-defective deletions of single genes. We have found no synthetic phenotypes resulting from a combination of deleted genes and have always been able to attribute a mutant phenotype to a single gene.
