Resequencing and Analysis of Whole Genome of Local Tribolium castaneum Using Next-generation Sequencing

The flour beetles Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) was noted as an important model organism for studies of insect physiology, for pest control and other topic[1]. As a product pest, T. castaneum is widely distributed all over the world. We reported and analyzed the genomic characteristics of local T. castaneum using next-generation sequencing. It is hoped to carry out pest control through its variation characteristics of SNP, Indel, SV and CNV. Through the variation detection, it was found that there were a lot of variations in the energy metabolism pathway, which was closely related to the antioxidant and cold resistance. It can be used as a genomic variation level reference for the subsequent prevention and control of local T. castaneum.
