The Complete Genome of <i>Chelonus insularis</i> Reveals Dynamic Arrangement of Genome Components in Parasitoid Wasps That Produce Bracoviruses
Meng Mao, Michael R. Strand, Gaelen R. Burke
Abstract
, which together with existing wasp genomes captures a large portion of the diversity among wasp species that produce bracoviruses. Results provide new information about how bracovirus genome components are organized in different wasps while also providing additional insights on key features required for function.
