description: Assembly and annotation of the Ugandan Sweetpotato population of Bemisia tabaci. A sub-Saharan African strain of bemisia whitefly. The B. tabaci species complex has a world-wide distribution and are well known vectors of viral pathogens in many important food and fibre crops worldwide. This strain is closely related to the East African SSA1-Uganda whitefly which have the unique biological phenotype of 'Super-Abundance' and high rate of infection of Cassava plants in the region of Sub Saharan Africa. Uganda Sweetpotato whitefly therefore represents a valuable species to contribute to better understanding of the Super-Abundance phenotype and viral plant pathogenesis in general. Seven total PacBio SMRT Cell libraries used in draft genome assembly. Annotation performed using the EMBL-EBI Gene annotation pipeline.
