Novel insights on thysanoptera genetics through PacBio sequencing

Student Competition On-Demand
Few studies have focused on the -omics of the order Thysanoptera and even fewer have focused on the -omics of the tobacco thrips, Frankliniella fusca (Hinds). Here, we present the assembled and annotated F. fusca genome, which is the first thrips genome produced from long read sequence data. This genome will provide a foundation for genetic questions into these vectors of the tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV). We use the assembly to investigate the selection pressures and epigenetics of this vector in comparison with the previously published Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) genome.
