Whole genome de novo sequence of Rikettsia colombianensi
. colombianensi was initially isolated from A. dissimile ticks using the Shell vial technique. Later for the propagation of R. colombianensi were cultivated in Vero cells.  Genome or R. colombianensi was sequenced using a PacBio RSII technology, and raw reads were assembled with PacBio SMRT Analysis pipeline v5.1.0 and the HGAP 4 protocol
