Aphidius ervi APP strain genome, raw sequencing reads

These reads were used for the assembly of the first de novo genome sequence for A. ervi, obtained by using a hybrid assembly strategy that combined both Illumina libraries (short reads) and a Pacific Biosciences library (long reads) into a high-quality genome draft. This genome assembly, and its resulting predicted and annotated gene sets, constitutes a powerful and valuable foundational dataset for gene and protein discovery, which will contribute to provide insights into mechanisms underlying several aspects of A. ervi biology, such as host selection and host-parasitoid interactions.
