Closing the genome of Teredinibacter turnerae T7902 by long-read nanopore sequencing

Mark T Gasser et al. Microbiol Resour Announc. .

Abstract

We present the complete closed circular genome sequence derived from the Oxford Nanopore sequencing of the shipworm endosymbiont, Teredinibacter turnerae T7902 (DSM 15152, ATCC 39867), originally isolated from the shipworm, Lyrodus pedicellatus (1). This sequence will aid in the comparative genomics of shipworm endosymbionts and the understanding of the host-symbiont evolution.

Keywords: endosymbionts; intracellular bacteria; shipworm; symbiosis.

Synteny plot comparing the previously published genome of Teredinibacter turnerae T7902 (GCA_000379165.1) and the new genome sequence and assembly presented here (GCA_037935975.1). A MUMmer3 plot was generated with NUCmer v3.1 (15) using default settings to assess synteny and completion. Minimum exact matches of 20 bp are represented as a dot, with lines representing exact match lengths > 20 bp. Forward matches are displayed in red, while reverse matches are shown in blue.
