Raw genome sequencing data of the leafhopper Hishimonus sellatus

Hishimonus sellatus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) is a significant agricultural pest and a known vector of plant phytoplasmas, including the mulberry dwarf phytoplasma. To obtain a high-quality reference genome, we employed a hybrid sequencing strategy. This project contains raw sequencing data generated from PacBio HiFi technology for primary contig assembly and Hi-C chromatin interaction mapping for chromosome-level scaffolding. Additionally, Illumina short-read sequencing was performed for genome survey and assembly polishing. Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) was also conducted to facilitate accurate gene prediction and genome annotation. This genomic resource will support future research on the biology, evolution, and pest management of H. sellatus.

凹缘菱纹叶蝉（Hishimonus sellatus，半翅目（Hemiptera）：叶蝉科（Cicadellidae））是一类重要农业害虫，同时也是包括桑矮缩植原体在内的多种植物植原体的已知传播媒介。为获取高质量参考基因组，本研究采用混合测序策略。本项目包含用于原始重叠群组装的PacBio HiFi测序原始数据，以及用于染色体水平支架构建的Hi-C染色质相互作用图谱数据。此外，本研究还开展了Illumina短读长测序，用于基因组调查与组装抛光。同时，本研究进行了转录组测序（RNA-Seq），以辅助实现精准的基因预测与基因组注释。本基因组资源将为后续针对凹缘菱纹叶蝉（H. sellatus）的生物学特性、演化历程及害虫防控相关研究提供有力支撑。
