A Draft Genome Assembly ofCulex pipiens pallens(Diptera: Culicidae) Using PacBio Sequencing

6 Jan 2021

Abstract excerpt

The Northern house mosquito, Culex pipiens pallens, serves as important temperate vectors of several diseases, particularly the epidemic encephalitis and lymphatic filariasis. Reference genome of the Cx. pipiens pallens is helpful to understand its genomic basis underlying the complexity of mosquito biology. Using 142 Gb (∼250×) of the PacBio long reads, we assembled a draft genome of 567.56 Mb. The assembly...
