Chromosome-Level Genome Sequence of Leishmania ( Leishmania ) tropica Strain CDC216-162, Isolated from an Afghanistan Clinical Case

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: PacBio and Illumina MiSeq platforms were used for genomic sequencing of a Leishmania (Leishmania ) tropica strain isolated from a patient infected in Pakistan. PacBio assemblies were generated using Flye v2.4 and polished with MiSeq data. The results represent a considerable improvement of the currently available genome sequences in the GenBank database.
