The jewel wasp, Nasonia (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), is a well-established model system for evolutionary genetics and host-microbial interactions. Here, we present the genome of N. oneida, a species lacking prior genomic characterization, using 10× Genomics linked-read (400× coverage), Illumina short-read (120× coverage), and transcriptome data (30× coverage). The assembled genome size is 267 Mb, comprising 4,675 scaffolds, with a scaffold N50 of 1 Mb and 98.40% Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologues (BUSCOs) completeness score. Annotation revealed 32.29% (86.46 Mb) of repetitive sequences and 14,221 protein-coding genes. Comparative genomics of N. oneida with 15 other hymenopteran species validated the presence of 5,939 gene families shared among them, including 3643 single-copy and 2296 multicopy gene families. This study provides the first de novo assembly of N. oneida, providing a significant addition to the growing repertoire of molecular tools for comparative genomics and functional studies to understand the evolution of closely related species as well as the evolution of parasitic wasps.
宝石黄蜂,丽蝇蛹集金小蜂(膜翅目:金小蜂科),是进化遗传学和宿主 - 微生物相互作用领域一个成熟的模型系统。在此,我们利用10×基因组学连接读长(400×覆盖度)、Illumina短读长(120×覆盖度)和转录组数据(30×覆盖度),展示了此前缺乏基因组特征描述的奥奈达丽蝇蛹集金小蜂的基因组。组装后的基因组大小为267 Mb,包含4675个支架,支架N50为1 Mb,基准通用单拷贝直系同源基因(BUSCO)完整性得分98.40%。注释显示重复序列占32.29%(86.46 Mb),蛋白质编码基因有14221个。奥奈达丽蝇蛹集金小蜂与其他15种膜翅目物种的比较基因组学验证了它们之间共有5939个基因家族的存在,包括3643个单拷贝和2296个多拷贝基因家族。本研究首次对奥奈达丽蝇蛹集金小蜂进行了从头组装,为不断增加的分子工具库做出了重要补充,有助于进行比较基因组学和功能研究,以了解近缘物种的进化以及寄生蜂的进化。
