The multiple steps applied to complete this genome make it impossible to simply express the sequencing depth as a single value. However, the estimate of 31x is based on the reported total 12,210 sequence reads (derived from 9,833 total recombinant clones and 20 closure PCR amplicons) used in the final assembly. Inserts were size-selected to the range of 1.5-2.5 kbp, from a distribution with median of 2 kbp.
This genome is derived from bacterial cells enriched from worker and larvae Camponotus pennsylvanicus collected from five colonies at two sites in Falmouth, Massachusetts, USA.
