This global resurgence is likely linked to increased international travel and commerce in addition to widespread insecticide resistance. Analyses of the C. lectularius sequenced genome (650 Mb) and 14,220 predicted protein-coding genes provide a comprehensive representation of genes that are linked to traumatic insemination, a reduced chemosensory repertoire of genes related to obligate hematophagy, host-symbiont interactions, and several mechanisms of insecticide resistance. In addition, we document the presence of multiple putative lateral gene transfer events. Genome sequencing and annotation establish a solid foundation for future research on mechanisms of insecticide resistance, human-bed bug and symbiont-bed bug associations, and unique features of bed bug biology that contribute to the unprecedented success of C. lectularius as a human ectoparasite.}, language = {en} } @article{LiuChenGaoetal.2017, author = {Liu, Han and Chen, Chunhai and Gao, Zexia and Min, Jiumeng and Gu, Yongming and Jian, Jianbo and Jiang, Xiewu and Cai, Huimin and Ebersberger, Ingo and Xu, Meng and Zhang, Xinhui and Chen, Jianwei and Luo, Wei and Chen, Boxiang and Chen, Junhui and Liu, Hong and Li, Jiang and Lai, Ruifang and Bai, Mingzhou and Wei, Jin and Yi, Shaokui and Wang, Huanling and Cao, Xiaojuan and Zhou, Xiaoyun and Zhao, Yuhua and Wei, Kaijian and Yang, Ruibin and Liu, Bingnan and Zhao, Shancen and Fang, Xiaodong and Schartl, Manfred and Qian, Xueqiao and Wang, Weimin}, title = {The draft genome of blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala) reveals the development of intermuscular bone and adaptation to herbivorous diet}, series = {GigaScience}, volume = {6}, journal = {GigaScience}, number = {7}, doi = {10.1093/gigascience/gix039}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-170844}, year = {2017}, abstract = {The blunt snout bream Megalobrama amblycephala is the economically most important cyprinid fish species. As an herbivore, it can be grown by eco-friendly and resource-conserving aquaculture. However, the large number of intermuscular bones in the trunk musculature is adverse to fish meat processing and consumption. As a first towards optimizing this aquatic livestock, we present a 1.116-Gb draft genome of M. amblycephala, with 779.54 Mb anchored on 24 linkage groups. Integrating spatiotemporal transcriptome analyses, we show that intermuscular bone is formed in the more basal teleosts by intramembranous ossification and may be involved in muscle contractibility and coordinating cellular events. Comparative analysis revealed that olfactory receptor genes, especially of the beta type, underwent an extensive expansion in herbivorous cyprinids, whereas the gene for the umami receptor T1R1 was specifically lost in M. amblycephala. The composition of gut microflora, which contributes to the herbivorous adaptation of M. amblycephala, was found to be similar to that of other herbivores. As a valuable resource for the improvement of M. amblycephala livestock, the draft genome sequence offers new insights into the development of intermuscular bone and herbivorous adaptation.}, language = {en} }
