Cydalima perspectalis (the box tree moth), Leptoglossus occidentalis (the western conifer seed bug), and Tecia solanivora (the Guatemalan tuber moth) are three economically harmful invasive insect species. This study presents their genomic and transcriptomic sequences, generated through whole-genome sequencing, RNA-seq transcriptomic data, and Hi-C sequencing. The resulting genome assemblies exhibit good quality, providing valuable insights into these species. The genome sizes are 500.4 Mb for C. perspectalis, 1.74 Gb for L. occidentalis, and 623.3 Mb for T. solanivora. These datasets are available in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (BioProject PRJNA1140410) and serve as essential resources for population genomics studies and the development of effective pest management strategies, addressing significant gaps in the understanding of invasive insect species.

A catalog of ancient proxies for modern genetic variants
The ability to observe the genomes of past human populations using ancient DNA provides an extraordinary perspective on many fundamental questions in human genetics, including understanding the evolutionary history of variants that underlie human disease and other phenotypes. However, ancient DNA is often damaged and degraded, yielding low-coverage of most nucleotides. Further, many publicly avail...

Designing DNA With Tunable Regulatory Activity Using Score-Entropy Discrete Diffusion
Designing regulatory DNA sequences with precise, cell-type-specific activity is critical for applications in medicine and biotechnology, but remains challenging due to the vast combinatorial space and complex regulatory grammar governing gene expression. Recent deep generative models---including genomic language models and diffusion-based approaches---offer new tools for sequence design, yet lack ...

The CLAMP GA-binding transcription factor regulates heat stress-induced transcriptional repression by associating with 3D chromatin loops
To survive exposure to heat stress (HS), organisms activate stress response genes and repress constitutive gene expression, thereby preventing the accumulation of potentially toxic RNA and protein products. Although many studies have elucidated the mechanisms that drive HS-induced activation of stress response genes across species, little is known about the mechanisms that repress constitutively e...

Functional genomic analysis of non-canonical DNA regulatory elements of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that is activated by environmental toxicants, like halogenated and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and then binds to DNA and regulates gene expression. AHR is involved in various physiological processes, including liver and immune system function, cell cycle regulation, oncogenesis, and metabolism. In the canonical pa...

A complete reference genome assembly and annotation of the Black Redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros)
The Black Redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros) is one of the most widely distributed species, occupying diverse habitats and exhibiting remarkable altitudinal migration, making it suitable model for studying altitudinal migration and high-altitude adaptation. In this study, we present the first reference genome of Phoenicurus ochruros, generated using PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing. The nuclear genom...

Phenotypic tolerance for rDNA copy number variation within the natural range of C. elegans
The genes for ribosomal RNA (rRNA) are encoded by ribosomal DNA (rDNA), whose structure is notable for being present in arrays of tens to thousands of tandemly repeated copies in eukaryotic genomes. The exact number of rDNA copies per genome is highly variable within a species, with differences between individuals measuring in potentially hundreds of copies and megabases of DNA. The extent to whic...

Inferring domestic goat demographic history through ancient genome imputation
Goats were among the earliest managed animals, making them a natural model to explore the genetic consequences of domestication. However, a challenge in ancient genomic analysis is the relatively low genome coverage for most samples, limiting analysis to pseudohaploid genotypes. Genotype imputation offers potential to alleviate this limitation by improving information content and accuracy in low c...

Fusion transcription factor dosage controls cell state in rhabdomyosarcoma
In the fusion-positive subset of rhabdomyosarcoma, the PAX3::FOXO1 oncoprotein is the most common fusion driver. We previously established a human myoblast system for inducible expression of PAX3::FOXO1. In the current study, we modulate PAX3::FOXO1 protein expression to understand the epigenetic and phenotypic functions at different PAX3::FOXO1 levels. Proliferative and oncogenic outcomes depend ...

The coordination between CTCF, cohesin and TFs impacts nucleosome repositioning and chromatin insulation to define state specific 3D chromatin folding
CTCF-mediated chromatin folding plays a key role in gene regulation, however the mechanisms controlling chromatin organization across cell states are not fully elucidated. Comprehensive analyses reveal that CTCF binding stability and cohesin overlap in mice and humans, are regulated by species specific differences in CTCF binding site (CBS) accessibility and enrichment of motifs corresponding to e...
