- Abstract
The increasing availability of genomicin formation from the Arthropoda continues torevolutionize our understanding of thebiology of this most diverse animal phylum. However, our sampling of arthropod diversity remains uneven, and key clade such as the Myriapoda are severely underrepresented. Herewe present the genome of the cosmopolitanly distributed Rusty Millipede Trigoniulus corallinus, which represents the first diplopod genome to be published, and the second example fromthe Myriapoda as a whole. This genomic resourcecontainsthemajorityof coreeukaryoticgenes(94.3%),andkeytranscription factor classes thatwere thought tobelost inthe Ecdysozoa. Mitochondrial genome and gene family (transcription factor, Dscam, circadian clock-driving protein, odorant receptor cassette, bioactive compound, and cuticular protein) analyses were also carried out to shed light on their states in the Diplopoda and Myriapoda. The ready availability of T. corallinus recommends it as a newmodel for evolutionary developmental biology, and the data set described here will be of widespread utility in investigating myriapod and arthropod genomics and evolution.
