Hybrid Genome Assembly and Evidence-Based Annotation of the Egg Parasitoid and Biological Control Agent .

(Bezdenko) are egg parasitoids that are used throughout the world as biological control agents and in laboratories as model species. Despite this ubiquity, few genetic resources exist beyond COI, ITS2, and RAPD markers. Aided by a infection, a wild-caught strain from Germany was reared for low heterozygosity and sequenced in a hybrid strategy, after which several assembling strategies were evaluated.
