Abstract

Heterodera carotae, the carrot cyst nematode, is a significant pest affecting carrot globally. Here we present the draft genome of H. carotae, which was generated from short read libraries from Illumina HiSeq technology, and the corresponding genome annotation.

Keywords: Heterodera carotae; carrot cyst nematode; draft genome; genomics.
