Xyleborini mycangia Raw sequence reads

Ambrosia beetles and fungi form one of the most powerful and widespread symbioses on Earth today. Some ambrosia fungi are deadly tree pathogens, while thousands of others form harmless, and diverse, relationships with beetles. The goal of this study is to determine which fungi are associated with the fourteen independent origins of fungus farming ambrosia beetles. Results from this study will be used to predict which beetles are carrying deadly tree pathogens. These data will also be used to create models that explain how the symbiosis evolved, to support or refute evolutionary theories.
