Abstract

Ignatzschineria larvae is studied for its role in decomposition and disease ecology; however, the type strain reference genome remains fragmented. The current reference genome consists of 61 contigs calculated at 82.18% complete with 10.98% contamination. Here, we announce the hybrid genome assembly as an improved single contig.

Keywords: Illumina; Nanopore; Wohlfahrtia; blow fly; decomposition; genomes; hybrid assembly; maggot; wound.
