Heterorhabditis indica Raw sequence reads. Heterorhabditis indica

Insect parasitic nematodes of the genus Heterorhabditis are capable of selectively seeking, infecting and killing their insect hosts in soil. The infective juvenile (IJ) stage of the Heterorhabditis nematodes is analogous to Caenorhabditis elegans dauer juvenile stage, which remains in ‘arrested development’ till it finds and infects a new insect-host in soil. H. indicais the most prevalent species of Heterorhabditisin India. To understand the biology of the IJ stage of H. indica, we sequenced the transcriptome of H. indica IJs.
