M. incognita group (MIG) genome sequencing

Root-knot nematodes are the major plant-parasitic nematodes, which costs more than 80-157 billion dollars in economic losses every year. The most serious root-knot nematode is MIG. But because MIG is allopolyploid, the genome is very complicated, their genome research has not been well resolved. Here we combine PacBio long reads, Illumina short reads, Hi-C data, BioNano optical map data to construct haplotype-resolved genome. Through the genome, we try to reveal the complex formation and genome instability of MIG.
