Draft genome sequence of <i>Paenibacillus</i> sp. strain Dod16 isolated from <i>Glossina palpalis palpalis</i> in Cameroon

Little is known about <i>Paenibacillus</i> species' role in tsetse microbiota influencing vector competence. We report the draft genome of <i>Paenibacillus</i> sp. strain Dod16 isolated from the Tsetse fly midgut in Dodeo, Cameroon. The genome is 8,067,571 bp in length, with 8,150 predicted coding sequences and a G+C content of 48.2%.
