Noah Spencer, Mathilda Santee, Adam Wetherhold, Rita V. M. Rio
TL;DR
The paper presents the genome sequence of a tsetse fly endosymbiont, Wigglesworthia glossinidia, from the Glossina palpalis gambiensis species.
Contribution
The study provides a new genome sequence and identifies a conserved cryptic plasmid in Wigglesworthia isolates.
Findings
The genome is 0.719 Mb with 611 protein-coding sequences and 25.3% GC content.
A cryptic plasmid is conserved across Wigglesworthia isolates, indicating functional importance.
The genome contributes to understanding lineage-based differences in Wigglesworthia.
Abstract
The 0.719 Mb genome of the tsetse endosymbiont, Wigglesworthia glossinidia, from Glossina palpalis gambiensis is presented. This Wigglesworthia genome retains 611 protein-coding sequences and a 25.3% GC content. A cryptic plasmid is conserved, between Wigglesworthia isolates, suggesting functional significance. This genome adds a further dimension to characterize Wigglesworthia lineage-based differences.
