Replication Data for: The genome of the avian malaria parasite Haemoproteus majoris (lineage WW2) and its relationship to other Plasmodium species

As avian erythrocytes are nucleated, parasite DNA was enriched by FACS-based sorting to discriminate and isolate the parasite from host cell nuclei prior to whole-genome amplification. The genome was assembled using Nanopore long-read sequencing and polished with Illumina short-reads, yielding 145 contigs with a total assembly size of 23.9Mb and a G+C content of 27.85%. Genome annotation identified 5501 protein-coding genes, 69 non-coding RNA genes, and 57 long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LRT-RTs), including one full-length element.

This archive provides the genomic resources in their original format before being processed by EBI-ENA. This archive includes: 1. the reference assembly as generated in the paper; The assembly was also uploaded to the ENA under the accession no.: GCA_965637345.1. 2. The original genome annotation in GFF format (not processed by the ENA), 3.

A compressed archive of the GitHub which provides all the bioinformatic details of the scripts used to generate the genome and its annotation. The original is available here: github.com/mikafontaine/malaria_HaemoproteusWW2.
