Microsporidia sp. MB: Comparative Genome Assembly Data

Supplementary data from a study of a microsporidian symbiont isolated from Anopheles coluzzii mosquitoes in Burkina Faso. The dataset, authored by Roland Pevsner and last updated in May 2026, compares the Microsporidia sp. MB SOUVK7 assembly against other members of the phylum, including outgroups M. daphniae and Amphiamblys sp.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomic analysis based on the inclusion of multiple microsporidian assemblies.
• Phylogenetic placement of a novel symbiont based on comparison to basal species and outgroups.
• Assessment of assembly quality and features relative to other sequenced Microsporidia.

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• Includes outgroup species (M. daphniae and Amphiamblys sp.) for phylogenetic context.
• Last update timestamp is precise (2026-05-14 04:33:38).

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 12.8 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
