Two individual Macrotermes termites sampled from Western and Southern Ethiopia for mitochondrial genome sequencing Genome sequencing and assembly
This project was initial developed to identify the species of Macrotermes termites sampled from several regions in Ethiopia. For two samples, this developed into a project to sequence their mitochondrial genomes. These two individuals were identified as Macrotermes herus and as part of the eastern clade of Macrotermes subhyalinus (M. subhyalinus as currently described is composed of at least two non-sister clades; i.e. it's paraphyletic).
