We present the draft genome sequence of Tubulinosema ratisbonensis, a microsporidium species infecting Drosophila melanogaster A total of 3,013 protein-encoding genes and an array of transposable elements were identified. This work represents a necessary step to develop a novel model of host-parasite relationships using the highly tractable genetic model D. melanogaster.
