Draft Genome of the Insect-Parasitic Nematode Bradynema listronoti

Abstract

Bradynema listronoti is an insect-parasitic nematode known to infect the carrot weevil, Listronotus oregonensis. We present the first sequence for this species and for any Allantonematidae, produced with a combination of short and long reads. The draft genome of B. listronoti is 80.6 Mb in size, assembled in 152 scaffolds.
