C. niphades genome sequencing. Caenorhabditis niphades sp. 36 genome sequencing

We describe a new gonochoristic species, Caenorhabditis niphades n. sp., previously referred to as C. sp. 36, isolated from adult weevils (Niphades variegatus) and sequenced the genome of C. niphades n. sp. to produce a chromosome-level assembly. A genome comparison highlighted that C. niphades n. sp. has the smallest genome so far sequenced in the Elegans supergroup.
