Schistosoma bovis

Genome Assembly & Annotation

Assembly

This annotated genome assembly was produced as part of the doctoral thesis of Duncan Berger: [Berger, D. (2021). Comparative and population genomic analyses of the parasitic blood flukes (Doctoral thesis)](https://doi.org/10.17863/CAM.86667).

The assembly was generated from PacBio long-read sequencing data, scaffolded using and Hi-C.

The source material for genome sequencing was 30 single-miracidium-derived female adult worms, originally obtained from Spain in 2019, and provided by Christoph Grunau, Jerome Boissier, and Helene Mone from the University of Perpignan. Additional worms from the same collection were used for gene finding.

Annotation

Gene finding employed a customized pipeline that integrated RNA-Seq, Iso-Seq and homology data. Berger, D. (2021). Comparative and population genomic analyses of the parasitic blood flukes (Doctoral thesis).
