Euura saliciscinereae isolate:TN-EAE_D_712 Genome sequencing and assembly. Euura saliciscinereae isolate:TN-EAE_D_712

In order to expand the representation of Tenthredinidae, the most species rich family within the Symphyta, we sequenced and assembled the genome of the leaf gall inducing sawfly Eupontania aestiva (Euura saliciscinereae sensu, Liston et al. 2017). This species belongs to the subtribe Euurina, a monophyletic and diverse group of nematine sawflies that induce galls on willows (Salix spp.). The willow host for this species is Salix myrsinifolia. This genome will contribute to further analyses of genomic divergence and adaptation in insect plant coevolution, as well as expand the representation of symphytan taxa in analyses of phylogenetic relationships and genomic composition within the order Hymenoptera.
