Tetranychus cinnabarinus is an important agricultural pest, primarily due to its rapid development of pesticide resistance. In this study, we constructed a chromosome-level genome of T. cinnabarinus using Illumina, Nanopore, and Hi-C sequencing technologies. The assembled genome spans 86.67 Mb, with an N50 value of 21.77 Mb, and 84.54 Mb of sequences anchored across three chromosomes. The BUSCO completeness of the genome is 92.78%. Through gene prediction, we identified 11,388 protein-coding genes, 98.53% of which are functionally annotated. Furthermore, we systematically identified 304 genes from five major detoxification enzyme systems. This high-quality genome provides a solid foundation for investigating the physiological mechanisms of T. cinnabarinus and for identifying potential targets for biocontrol strategies.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
