Maruca vitrata, a significant pest of legumes, impacts food security in Asia and Africa. This study presents a high-quality genome assembly of M. vitrata, utilizing advanced sequencing technologies including Nanopore long-read, MGI short-read, and Hi-C. The genome, totaling 482.3 Mb with a contig N50 of 2.91 Mb, features 41.58% repetitive sequences and encompasses 13,320 protein-coding genes. We performed comparative genomic analyses to affirm the accuracy and completeness of the protein sequences assembled, ensuring the assembly's integrity. Additionally, the annotation of 83 Cytochrome P450 (CYP) genes further confirms the comprehensive nature of the genome assembly and its annotations. This genome assembly not only deepens our understanding of M. vitrata biology but also supports the development of sustainable pest management strategies. This research highlights the importance of genomics in advancing sustainable agricultural solutions through innovative pest management approaches.
豆芫菁，一种严重危害豆类作物的害虫，对亚洲和非洲的粮食安全构成威胁。本研究利用纳米孔长读、MGI 短读和 Hi-C 等先进测序技术，提供了高质量的豆芫菁基因组组装。基因组大小为 482.3Mb，N50 为 2.91Mb，包含 41.58%的重复序列，共有 13320 个蛋白编码基因。我们进行了比较基因组分析，以确认组装的蛋白序列的准确性和完整性，确保了组装的完整性。此外，83 个细胞色素 P450（CYP）基因的注释进一步证实了基因组组装及其注释的全面性。该基因组组装不仅加深了我们对豆芫菁生物学的理解，还有助于制定可持续的害虫管理策略。这项研究强调了基因组学在通过创新的害虫管理方法推进可持续农业解决方案方面的重要性。
