Genomic sequencing of Japanese Collembola for mitochondrial genome assembly and marker discovery

Genomic sequencing of Japanese springtails (Hexapoda: Collembola) was conducted to generate genomic resources for evolutionary, phylogenetic, and biodiversity studies, including mitochondrial genome assembly, SNP discovery, and the development of DNA barcoding and metabarcoding markers. The project includes (1) low-coverage whole-genome sequencing (lcWGS), from which mitochondrial genomes and nuclear genes can be assembled, and (2) genome-wide SNP discovery using lcWGS data and reduced-representation sequencing libraries.
