About Paragonimus kellicotti

Paragonimus kellicotti or the North American lung fluke, is a trematode of the family Paragonimidae, responsible for causing a food-borne infection. Humans are commonly infected by eating raw or undercooked crayfish meat that contains the parasite larvae.

Genome Assembly & Annotation

Assembly

The full assembly process is outlined in Rosa et al., (2020). Sequences were generated on the Illumina platform and assembled using Allpaths_LG. An in-house tool, Pygap, was used to improve scaffolding. L_RNA_scaffolder which uses transcript alignments to improve contiguity was also used.

Annotation

The full annotation process is outlined in Rosa et al., (2020). The nuclear genome was annotated using the MAKER pipeline v2.31.8. RNA-seq reads were aligned to their respective genome assemblies and assembled using StringTie v1.2.4. Ab initio gene predictions from BRAKER v2 and AUGUSTUS v3.2.2 (trained by BRAKER and run within MAKER) were refined using transcript and protein evidence.
