Genbank annotation and sequence of the genome of a Rickettsiales symbiont of Reticulomyxa filosa

The genome sequence of a Rickettsiales symbiont was selectively from the genome sequencing reads of its host, Reticulomyxa filosa. Those sequences were obtained from a previous third-party study (doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2013.11.027). The selective assembly procedure was based on GC content and coverage of contigs obtained from the total read sets with SPAdes. Full details are provided in the manuscript file.The obtained symbiont sequence was then annotated with Prokka, and the gbk output file selected.
This genome was obtained and analysed in the context of a larger genome comparative studies on the Rickettsiales, aimed to investigate the evolutionary patterns within the whole lineage.
