Data from: Raw whole Drosophila genome sequence traces have contaminant sequences from bacterial symbionts

Many Drosophila genomes have been sequenced and assembled recently, and
many more genome sequencing projects are in progress. However, Drosophila
have bacterial, fungal, and protozoan symbionts, and the DNA of these
symbionts may be isolated in the process of sequencing Drosophila genomes.
Here, we assess how much sequence is isolated from these symbionts and if
the sequence contamination affected how these Drosophila genomes were
assembled. We do find raw sequence from bacterial symbionts and humans in
Drosophila genome sequence traces analyzed. Surprisingly, the four
most-common contaminant species were shared among the Drosophila genomes.
However, we do not find evidence of bacterial sequences in two published
Drosophila genome assemblies.
