Bacterial symbionts of the pinewood nematode Metagenome. nematode metagenome

A shotgun library was constructed from enriched bacteria isolated from the Chinese strain of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (pine wood nematode; PWN) using the next-generation sequencing technology for diversity investigation and function analysis. A total of 78 Mb assembly metagenome (99,049 contigs) were derived from 2.91Gb of sequence. Taxonomic assignment was carried out with MEGAN performed basing based on the results of best matches of the contigs blastn with nucleotide nuclear database from NCBI.
