Chromosomal scale assembly reveals localized structural variants in avian caecal coccidian parasite Eimeria tenella

Abstract Eimeria tenella is a major cause of caecal coccidiosis in commercial poultry chickens worldwide. Here, we report chromosomal scale assembly of Eimeria tenella strain APU2, a strain isolated from commercial broiler chickens in the U.S. We obtained 100× sequencing Oxford Nanopore Technology (...
