  1. The Bemisia tabaci s.l. genome assembly statistics in comparison to selected (publicly available) insect genomes with INSDC accession numbers. Whitefly genome assembly sizes ranged from 615 to 787 Mb, which was consistently larger than the genomes of Acyrthosiphon pisum, Anopheles gambiae, Drosophila melanogaster and Tribolium castaneum
