Whole Genome Sequencing, Assembly, and Annotation of Heterorhabditis indica Himalayan Strain (EPN)
We present the Whole Genome Sequencing, Assembly, and Annotation of Heterorhabditis indica Himalayan Strain, providing insights into its genomic architecture, functional gene annotations, and phylogenetic placement within entomopathogenic nematodes. The high-quality genome assembly offers a valuable resource for understanding host-pathogen interactions, stress adaptation mechanisms, and symbiotic relationships with Photorhabdus bacteria. Comparative genomics highlights unique adaptations of this strain to diverse ecological conditions. This dataset serves as a foundation for future research on biocontrol applications and nematode-bacterium symbiosis.
