Aphidinae comparative genomics resource

Here we provide early access to 18 new genome assemblies, including 8 assembled to chromosome-scale, for aphids from the subfamily Aphidinae. For consistency and to aid comparative analysis, all genomes have been annotated using the same repeat masking and RNA-seq-based gene prediction pipeline. Using this pipeline we also provide new annotations for three previously published genome assemblies.

The genome assemblies and annotations are made freely available without restriction, we only request that this Zenodo resource is cited when using the data. Raw sequence data upload to NCBI is underway and full details of all accessions will be given in an updated version of this resource. Manuscripts are in preparation describing the individual genome assemblies in detail and larger comparative genome analyses and we will update this resource with additional citation information as papers are published.

Full details of all genome assemblies and annotations included in this release are given in the attached "Data_Description.pdf" document.
