Draft Genome Sequence of Tubulinosema Ratisbonensis, a Microsporidian Species Infecting the Model Organism Drosophila Melanogaster

Abstract

We present the draft genome sequence of , a microsporidium species infecting A total of 3,013 protein-encoding genes and an array of transposable elements were identified. This work represents a necessary step to develop a novel model of host-parasite relationships using the highly tractable genetic model .
