Amblyseius andersoni Genome and Genetic Data for Insecticide Resistance

A 230.0 MB genome assembly and genetic mapping data for the predatory mite Amblyseius andersoni, an important biological control agent. Femke De Graeve published this record on figshare in 2026, using long-read sequencing and bulked segregant analysis. The data supports research into the genetic basis of resistance to the insecticides deltamethrin and spinosad.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics analysis based on the de novo genome assembly (FASTA) and gene annotation (GFF3).
• Genetic mapping of adaptive traits based on the bulked segregant analysis (BSA) genotype data in VCF format.
• Differential gene expression analysis based on the raw RNA-seq count data provided.
• Studying the evolution of insecticide resistance in predatory mites based on the combined genetic and expression datasets.

Strengths

• Includes a complete de novo genome assembly generated via long-read sequencing.
• Combines genotype (VCF) and expression (RNA-seq) data for a multi-omics approach to trait mapping.
• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for some statistical methods.
