Title: The Complete Genome Sequences of 101 Species of Reptiles
We present the complete genome sequences of 101 species of reptiles (four testudines, one crocodilian and 96 squamates) including the complete genome of one type specimen. Illumina sequencing was performed on DNA extracted from wild-caught specimens. The reads were assembled using ade novomethod followed by a finishing step. The raw and assembled data are publicly available via Genbank. more »« less
ABSTRACT The complete genome ofPlanococcus koreensiswas obtained using Nanopore MinION sequencing after isolation from soil in Colorado. The assembled genome contains one circular contig with 3,519,105 bp, 3,606 genes, 419 pseudogenes, and 47.62% guanine-cytosine content. This discovery provides a fully assembledP. koreensisgenome available at the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
We present the complete genome sequences of 31 species of hawks. Illumina sequencing was performed on genetic material from wild-caught specimens. The reads were assembled using ade novomethod followed by a finishing step. The raw and assembled data are publicly available via Genbank.
We present the complete genome sequences of 22 species of owls. Illumina sequencing was performed on DNA extracted from wild-caught specimens. The reads were assembled using ade novomethod followed by a finishing step. The raw and assembled data are publicly available via Genbank.
We present the complete genome sequences of 11 species of kingbirds. Illumina sequencing was performed on genetic material from wild-caught and museum specimens. The reads were assembled using ade novomethod followed by a finishing step. The raw and assembled data are publicly available via Genbank.

Abstract The sacred datura plant (Solanales: Solanaceae:Datura wrightii) has been used to study plant–herbivore interactions for decades. The wealth of information that has resulted leads it to have potential as a model system for studying the ecological and evolutionary genomics of these interactions. We present a de novoDatura wrightiigenome assembled using PacBio HiFi long-reads. Our assembly is highly complete and contiguous (N50 = 179Mb, BUSCO Complete = 97.6%). We successfully detected a previously documented ancient whole genome duplication using our assembly and have classified the gene duplication history that generated its coding sequence content. We use it as the basis for a genome-guided differential expression analysis to identify the induced responses of this plant to one of its specialized herbivores (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae:Lema daturaphila). We find over 3000 differentially expressed genes associated with herbivory and that elevated expression levels of over 200 genes last for several days. We also combined our analyses to determine the role that different gene duplication categories have played in the evolution ofDatura-herbivore interactions. We find that tandem duplications have expanded multiple functional groups of herbivore responsive genes with defensive functions, including UGT-glycosyltranserases, oxidoreductase enzymes, and peptidase inhibitors. Overall, our results expand our knowledge of herbivore-induced plant transcriptional responses and the evolutionary history of the underlying herbivore-response genes.
