A Worked Example of Screening Genomic Material for the Presence of Wolbachia Infection
Abstract
This chapter gives a brief overview of how to screen existing host genomic data for the presence of endosymbionts, such as Wolbachia. The various programs used provide test examples, and the corresponding manuals and discussion boards provide invaluable information. Please do consult these resources.
Keywords: Data quality assessment; Directories; Host DNA data; Reference genomes; Wolbachia DNA identification.
