Complete de novo assembly of Wolbachia endosymbiont of contemporary Drosophila simulans using long-read genome sequencing.
We present a contemporary high-quality, complete de novo assembly of Wolbachia pipientis (wRi Merrill 23, CP199298), an alphaproteobacterial endosymbiont of Drosophila simulans. This assembly was generated using long read sequencing of wRi-infected D. simulans embryos collected from the Merrill College at the University of California, Santa Cruz in October 2023.
