Chromosome-level Dinobdella ferox genome provided a molecular model for its specific parasitism
Abstract Background Dinobdella ferox is the most frequently reported leech species parasitizing the mammalian nasal cavity. However, the molecular mechanism of this special parasitic behavior has remained largely unknown. Methods PacBio long-read sequencing, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and Hi-...
