Abstract
Tapinoma indicum is a household pest that is widely distributed in Asian countries. It is known as nuisance pest that causes annoyance and disturbance by constructing nests and foraging in building for food and water. This article documents the draft genome dataset of T. indicum collected in Penang Island, Malaysia using the next-generation sequencing known as the Illumina platform. This article presents the pair-end 150 bp genome dataset and the quality of the sequencing result. This dataset provides the information for further understanding of T. indicum in the molecular aspect and the opportunity to develop a novel method for pest control and regulation. The dataset is available under Sequence Read Archive (SRA) databases with the accession number SRR10848807.
Description
Tapinoma indicum was collected using the baiting method with peanut butter and honey. DNA was extracted using HiYield PlusTM Genomic DNA Mini Kit (Blood/tissue/cultured cells) (Real Biotech Corp., Taipei, Taiwan).
