What is Genome sequence of the corn leaf aphid ( Rhopalosiphum maidis Fitch) about?
## Background: The corn leaf aphid (rhopalosiphum maidis fitch) is the most economically damaging aphid pest on maize (zea mays), one of the world's most important grain crops. in addition to causing direct damage by removing photoassimilates, r. maidis transmits several destructive maize viruses, including maize yellow dwarf virus, barley yellow dwarf virus, sugarcane mosaic virus, and cucumber mosaic virus. ## Findings: The genome of a parthenogenetically reproducing r. maidis clone was assembled with a combination of pacific biosciences (207-fold coverage) and illumina (83-fold coverage) sequencing. the 689 assembled contigs, which have an n50 size of 9.0 megabases (mb) and a low level of heterozygosity, were clustered using phase genomics hi-c interaction maps. consistent with the commonly observed 2n = 8 karyotype of r. maidis, most of the contigs (473 spanning 321 mb) were successfully oriented into 4 scaffolds. the genome assembly captured the full length of 95.8% of the core eukaryotic genes, indicating that it is highly complete. repetitive sequences accounted for 21.2% of the assembly, and a total of 17,629 protein-coding genes were predicted with integrated evidence from
