Chromosome-level genome assembly of an important wolfberry fruit fly (Neoceratitis asiatica Becker)

Abstract Tephritidae pests are significant agricultural pests with a notable impact on the economy, with a wide range of species and most having broad host ranges and strong reproductive abilities. However, the wolfberry fruit fly, Neoceratitis asiatica (Becker), is a Tephritidae fly which only harm...

description Abstract Tephritidae pests are significant agricultural pests with a notable impact on the economy, with a wide range of species and most having broad host ranges and strong reproductive abilities. However, the wolfberry fruit fly, Neoceratitis asiatica (Becker), is a Tephritidae fly which only harms wolfberry. Here, we assembled and annotated N. asiatica genome at the chromosome level and compared it with the genomic and transcriptomic information from other Tephritidae flies. The assembled genome of N. asiatica had a size of 563.8 Mb and achieved a completeness level of 99.1%, 18,387 genes were annotated totally. All contigs were assembled into 7 linkage groups with an N50 of 93.166 Mb assisted by the Hi-C technique. The high-quality genome developed here will provide a significant resource for exploring the genetic basis of the adaptive and reproductive differences among various Tephritidae pests, and provides an important theoretical basis for the prevention and control of Tephritidae pests.
