Millipede genomes reveal unique adaptation of genes and microRNAs during myriapod evolution

The Myriapoda including millipedes and centipedes is of major importance in terrestrial ecology and nutrient recycling. Here, we sequenced and assembled two chromosomal-scale genomes of millipedes Helicorthomorpha holstii (182 Mb, N50 18.11 Mb mainly on 8 pseudomolecules) and Trigoniulus corallinus (449 Mb, N50 26.78 Mb mainly on 15 pseudomolecules).
