摘要：
Feather mites are ubiquitous, permanent, obligate ectosymbionts of avian hosts and are a valuable natural system for studying host-symbiont evolutionary and ecological dynamics at multiple levels of biological organization. However, a lack of a sequenced genome impedes molecular studies using this system. Therefore, we present the first draft genome of a symbiotic feather mite, Amerodectes protonotaria Hernandes 2018. The genome sequence data presented here were derived from an individual female mite that was collected in the field from Protonotaria citrea, its only known host species. Short read sequence data were obtained using an Illumina NovaSeq 60 0 0 platform. From these data, we assembled a 59,665,063 bp draft genome consisting of 2,399 contigs. Raw short reads and the assembled genome sequence are available at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)'s Sequence Read Archive (SRA) under BioProject PRJNA884722. The data presented here are beneficial for future research on the biology and evolution of closely related mites and the genomics of host-symbiont interactions.
