Culicoides imicola draft genome: assembly, gene models, orthology tables and analysis code

Draft short-read genome assembly of Culicoides imicola (131 Mb; 44,582 contigs of at least 1 kb), BRAKER3 gene models, repeat library, OrthoFinder tables, candidate immune and bluetongue virus-associated gene tables, and analysis code accompanying the manuscript 'Draft Genome Resource for the Bluetongue Vector Culicoides imicola: Assembly, Annotation and Placement of Immune and Virus-Associated Candidate Genes'. Source reads (NCBI BioProjects PRJNA1155864, CSIRO AGI/ACDP; PRJNA888866, CIRAD) are not redistributed. Limitations: short-read draft from a pool of four Sardinian adults; gene models are fragmented.
