Duties Develop a bioinformatic based strategic platform that leverages shotgun metagenome sequence data to create pan-genome assemblies. Utilize Drosophila suzukii microbiomes as a case study. Use traditional microbial culturing to create independently sequenced and closed genomes of up to 20 of the most prevalent microbes within the flies. Bin sequence reads against the host and microbial reference genomes. Explore different methods and parameters to create pangenomes and compare and assess the
