# Draft genome sequences of Buchnera aphidicola from three aphid species (Hemiptera: Aphididae: Eriosomatinae) associated with gall formation on elm trees

## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome sequences of Buchnera aphidicola from three aphid species that form galls on elm trees, providing insights into their symbiotic relationship.

## Contribution

The study provides new genome sequences of Buchnera aphidicola from three gall-forming aphid species.

## Key findings

- The genome sizes of Buchnera aphidicola from Tetraneura sorini, Tetraneura akinire, and Eriosoma harunire were 533,871, 530,863, and 627,315 bp, respectively.
- The genomes offer insights into Buchnera’s role in aphid symbiosis and adaptation.

## Abstract

The Buchnera aphidicola genomes from eriosomatine gall-forming aphids Tetraneura sorini, Tetraneura akinire, and Eriosoma harunire were sequenced, with genome sizes of 533,871, 530,863, and 627,315 bp, respectively. These genomes shed light on Buchnera’s role in aphid symbiosis and adaptation.
