Quasipaa spinosa is an Asian commercial Dicroglossidae species noted for its spiny chest found in adult males. Here, we report the first chromosomal level Q. spinosa genome employing PacBio long read sequencing and high‐resolution chromosome conformation capture (Hi‐C) technology. The total length of the final assembled genome was 2,839,292,578 bp, with contig N50 of 3.79 Mb and scaffold N50 of 327.44 Mb. Approximately 99.30% of the length of the assembled genome sequences were anchored to 13 chromosomes with the assistance of Hi‐C reads. A total of 26,173 protein‐coding genes were predicted, and 95.98% of the genes were functionally annotated. The annotated genes covered a total of 92.10% of the complete vertebrate core gene set according to the BUSCO pipeline evaluation. Approximately 41 million years ago, Q. spinosa began to diverge from its dicroglossid sister taxon Nanorana parkeri. The Q. spinosa genome revealed obvious chromosomal fissions compared with Xenopus tropicalis, which probably represented a specific chromosome evolutionary history within frogs. Population analysis showed that Chinese Q. spinosa could be divided into eastern and western genetic clusters, with the western population showing higher diversity than the eastern population. The effective population size of Q. spinosa showed a continuously decreasing trend from one million years ago to 10,000 years ago. In summary, this study sheds light on Q. spinosa evolution and population differentiation, providing a valuable genomic resource for further biological and genetic studies on this species, and other closely related frog taxa.
Opening to the outside world has an impact on Income gap between urban and rural areas. From the perspective of internal transmission mechanism, opening to the outside world has promoted the redistribution of labor force between urban and rural areas and the increase of rural residents' wages while adjusting the industrial structure. From the perspective of external transmission mechanism, trade openness has a significant impact on Income gap between urban and rural areas through the regulation of transportation infrastructure. Based on the above analysis, this paper explores the specific impact mechanism of opening to the outside world on income gap between urban and rural areas. Using Theil index to construct an index to measure the income gap between urban and rural areas, this paper empirically explores the impact of opening to the outside world on Income gap between urban and rural areas through adjustment effect test and mediation effect test, and further explores the impact of various influencing factors on income gap between urban and rural areas and the specific transmission mechanism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
