About Paragonimus skrjabinimiyazakii

Paragonimus skrjabinimiyazakii is one of two species of Paragonimus thought to cause Paragonimiasis in humans. Paragonimiasis is a food-borne zoonosis endemic to western Japan.

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.
