Raw genome sequencing data of the leafhopper Hishimonus sellatus
Hishimonus sellatus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) is a significant agricultural pest and a known vector of plant phytoplasmas, including the mulberry dwarf phytoplasma. To obtain a high-quality reference genome, we employed a hybrid sequencing strategy. This project contains raw sequencing data generated from PacBio HiFi technology for primary contig assembly and Hi-C chromatin interaction mapping for chromosome-level scaffolding. Additionally, Illumina short-read sequencing was performed for genome survey and assembly polishing. Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) was also conducted to facilitate accurate gene prediction and genome annotation. This genomic resource will support future research on the biology, evolution, and pest management of H. sellatus.
