Abstract

We present a chromosome-scale assembly of strain JU4118, an inbred line of Caenorhabditis sp. 65 . This species is a wild isolate that was sampled in Da Lat, Vietnam by the Marie-Anne Félix lab in December 2019. This strain has a genome size of 126 Mb, with a GC content of 37.95 %. Comparisons of C. sp. 65 with C. elegans show conserved broad-scale chromosomal organization, but finer-scale variation which may be clade-specific, such as expansion of the X chromosome and increased repeat content. By assembling and annotating its genome, we aim to expand future evolutionary studies on the Caenorhabditis genus.
