Draft Genome of the photosymbiotic nudibranch Berghia stephanieae Raw sequence reads
The aeolid nudibranch Berghia stephanieae belongs to the group of nudibranchs that are able to associate with dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae) and establish a photosymbiosis. B. stephanieae is a relevant species to understand how photosymbiosis has evolved in Nudibranchia, because it seems to be a transitional form towards a stable photosymbiosis. Therefore, it serves as a model organism for studying genomic adaptations needed to establish a photosymbiosis
