中国昆虫基因组学的研究进展

Advances in research on insect genomics in China

随着测序技术的革新和多种组学综合分析方法的应用,昆虫基因组学研究领域得到了迅速的发展。目前,我国昆虫学家已经发表了家蚕Bombyx mori、小菜蛾Plutella xylostella、飞蝗Locusta migratoria、榕小蜂Ceratosolen solmsi、褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens、柑橘凤蝶Papilio xuthus、烟粉虱Bemisia tabaci等多种昆虫基因组图谱,同时在比较基因组学、功能基因组学、生物信息学以及基因编辑等研究领域也取得了突出的成绩。本文主要综述了近五年我国昆虫基因组学的重要进展,并提出了未来在数据分析、团队合作和基因操作等领域面临的挑战。

With the advent of next-generation sequencing, insect genomics has undergone rapid development in recent decades triggered by the systematic analysis of insect genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes, and other cellular components. Several of important insect species have recently been sequenced, including Bombyx mori, Plutella xylostella, Locusta migratoria, Ceratosolen solmsi, Nilaparvata lugens, Papilio xuthus, and Bemisia tabaci. Meanwhile, great advances have been made in research on comparative genomics, functional genomics, bioinformatics and databases, and genomic editing. This paper summarizes recent progress in insect genomics over the past five years in China. We also discuss the challenges, opportunities, and emerging trends in insect genomics.
