| contents | Chromosome-Level Genome Assembly of Eden's Whale Clarifies the Taxonomy and Speciation of Bryde's Whale Complex. Lin, Yi-Tao Hui, Fan Han, Wentao Li, Yi-Xuan Heung, Bonnie Yuen Wai How, Chun Ming Wang, Shi Qiu, Jian-Wen Animals Phylogeny Genetic Speciation Genome Balaenoptera Chromosomes Evolution, Molecular Eden's whale (Balaenoptera edeni), a poorly understood baleen cetacean, has long been shrouded in taxonomic ambiguity due to limited genomic resources, obscuring its distinction from closely related species and its position within the cetacean Tree of Life. In this paper, we present a high-quality chromosomal-level genome of B. edeni and conduct comparative genomic analyses to address long-standing taxonomic confusion and elucidate speciation of balaenopterids. Our phylogenomic analysis and demographic reconstruction reveal that B. edeni is a distinct sister to Bryde's whale (Balaenoptera brydei), sharing a common ancestor that diverged approximately 7.84 million years ago during the late Miocene. Their genetic divergence exceeds typical intraspecific variation in whales, supporting the reinstatement of B. brydei as a valid species. Chromosomal syntenic analyses suggest that macro-fragment inversions contributed to speciation in balaenopterid whales and uncover unexpected large-scale complex genome rearrangements in Bryde's whale, offering novel insights into cetacean genome evolution. Functional enrichment analysis of inverted regions between B. edeni and Balaenoptera musculus indicates their predominant association with metabolism and biosynthesis, as well as responses to various substances, stress, and stimuli. These genomic resources for B. edeni not only lay a critical foundation for comparative genetic and evolutionary research of cetaceans but also advance our understanding of the taxonomy and evolutionary dynamics of the Bryde's whale complex, with broader implications for baleen whale conservation and biodiversity. |
