Abstract:
We present a high-quality chromosome-scale genome assembly for the Orange Baboon Tarantula (Pterinochilus murinus). The 4.7 Gb genome is organized into 22 chromosomes and demonstrates 96.32% completeness based on BUSCO analysis (-m genome) using the arachnida_odb10 dataset. Genome annotation supported by extensive RNA-seq evidence (~189 Gb) identified 40,403 protein-coding genes and 14,286 long non-coding RNA loci. These comprehensive genomic resources-including a chromosome-scale assembly and lncRNA annotations-support a wide range of comparative and functional genomic analyses in spiders and related arthropods.

Lampbrush Chromosomes
LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops...
