Whole-Genome Shotgun Sequencing and Assembly of Anopheles gambiae G3, the Host of Malaria Parasite Plasmodium sp

Abstract

Anopheles gambiae or the African malaria mosquito is the main vector of human malaria. G3, is an Anopheles gambiae strain, that was isolated from Gambiae in 1975, We report here a 216.3 Mbp draft genome sequence and assembly for Anopheles gambiae strain G3, with almost 82 thousand scaffold, 53X coverage and a G+C content of 44.5%.

Keywords: Anopheles gambiae G3; GenBank; Illumina HiSeq; MASURCA; Malaria; Next Generation Sequence.
