A draft genome for a species of Halicephalobus (Panagrolaimidae)
Abstract
Halicephalobus is a clade of small, exclusively parthenogenic nematodes that have sometimes colonized remarkable habitats. Given their phylogenetic closeness to other parthenogenic panagrolaimid species with which they likely share a sexually reproducing ancestor, Halicephalobus species provide a point of comparison for parallelisms in the evolution of asexuality. Here, we present a draft genome of a putatively new species of Halicephalobus isolated from termites in Japan.
