Leptinotarsa decemlineata genome assembly 1.0

The Baylor College of Medicine recently sequenced and annotated the Leptinotarsa decemlineata genome as part of the i5k pilot project. This dataset presents the Leptinotarsa decemlineata genome v1.0. This assembly version is the pre-release version, prior to filtering and quality control by the [National Center for Biotechnology Information's GenBank resource](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assembly/GCA_000696205.1). Assembly method details will be available in a forthcoming publication. The Colorado potato beetle is considered the economically most significant defoliator of potato in northern latitudes worldwide. The range of this insect is continuing to expand, and it is likely to eventually colonize all potato-producing areas with temperate climate. Within it's native habitat, the beetle feeds on native solanaceous plants, S. angustifolium, S. elaeagnifolium, and buffalo bur, S. rostratum. However, it has adapted to potatoes and other solanaceous crops after its range expansion. Due to the lack of any natural enemies that have been able to evolve seasonal adaptations, the cornerstone of Colorado potato beetle management has been the use of insecticides. However, the beetle has shown a remarkable ability to develop resistance to most insecticides used for its control. The mechanism(s) of insecticide resistance is yet unknown and genomic sequencing will lead to major advances in managing this pest in commercial plant production.

贝勒医学院（Baylor College of Medicine）近期作为i5k试点项目的组成部分，完成了马铃薯甲虫（Leptinotarsa decemlineata）的基因组测序与注释工作。本数据集即该物种的基因组v1.0版本。该组装版本为预发布版本，尚未经过美国国家生物技术信息中心（National Center for Biotechnology Information, NCBI）GenBank资源（http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assembly/GCA_000696205.1）的过滤与质量控制流程。组装方法的详细信息将在后续发表的学术论文中公开。
马铃薯甲虫被认为是全球北纬地区经济重要性最高的马铃薯食叶害虫。该昆虫的分布范围正持续扩张，最终大概率会侵染所有温带气候下的马铃薯种植区域。
在原生栖息地中，该甲虫以本土茄科植物为食，包括窄叶茄（S. angustifolium）、银叶茄（S. elaeagnifolium）以及刺萼龙葵（buffalo bur, S. rostratum）。但在分布范围扩张后，它已成功适应了马铃薯及其他茄科作物。
由于尚未发现能够演化出季节性适应性的天敌，化学杀虫剂长期以来都是马铃薯甲虫防治的核心手段。然而该甲虫已对绝大多数用于防治的杀虫剂展现出极强的抗药性。其抗药性机制目前仍未明确，基因组测序将为商业种植中的该害虫防治带来重大进展。
