Genome Assembly & Annotation
Assembly
Contigs were generated from paired-end and mate-pair libraries and scaffolded with long Oxford Nanopore reads using LINKS and danaasm-link, as described by Nowak et al., 2019.
Annotation
Gene models were predicted using BRAKER2 and MAKER2, guided by RNAseq data, as described by Nowak et al., 2019
