Nematode Genome Announcement: A Draft Genome for Rice Root-Knot Nematode, Meloidogyne graminicola

J Nematol. 2018 Sep 3;50(2):111-116. doi: 10.21307/jofnem-2018-018.

Abstract

The rice root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola has emerged as a devastating pest of rice in South-East Asian countries. Here we present a draft genome sequence for M. graminicola , assembled using data from short and long insert libraries sequenced on Illumina GAIIx sequencing platform.
