Earthworms are annelids. They play a major role in agriculture and soil fertility. Vermicompost is the best organic manure for plant crops. is an earthworm well suited for efficient vermicompost production. The worm is also used to study the cell and molecular biology of regeneration, molecular toxicology, developmental biology, ., because of its abilities like high growth rate, rapid reproduction, tolerability toward wide temperature range, and less cost of maintenance. The whole genome has been revealed only for and In the present work, we sequenced the genome of using the Illumina platform and generated 160,684,383 paired-end reads. The reads were assembled into a draft genome of size 488 Mb with 743,870 contigs and successfully annotated 24,599 genes. Further, 208 stem cell-specific genes and 3,432 non-coding genes were identified. The sequence and annotation details were hosted in a web application available at https://sudhakar-sivasubramaniam-labs.shinyapps.io/eudrilus_genome/.
蚯蚓是环节动物。它们在农业和土壤肥力方面发挥着重要作用。蚯蚓堆肥是植物作物最好的有机肥料。 是一种非常适合高效生产蚯蚓堆肥的蚯蚓。由于其生长速度快、繁殖迅速、对广泛温度范围的耐受性以及维护成本低等能力，这种蚯蚓还被用于研究再生的细胞和分子生物学、分子毒理学、发育生物学等。目前仅揭示了 和 的全基因组。在本研究中，我们使用Illumina平台对 的基因组进行了测序，生成了1.60684383亿对末端配对读数。这些读数被组装成一个大小为488 Mb、有743,870个重叠群的基因组草图，并成功注释了24,599个基因。此外，还鉴定出了208个干细胞特异性基因和3432个非编码基因。序列和注释细节存于一个网络应用程序中，可在https://sudhakar-sivasubramaniam-labs.shinyapps.io/eudrilus_genome/上获取。
