A genome sequence for biomphalaria pfeifferi, the major vector snail for the human-infecting parasite schistosoma mansoni

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Lijing Bu et al. from the Southwestern Biology, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States of America have published the research: A genome sequence for Biomphalaria pfeifferi, the major vector snail for the human-infecting parasite Schistosoma mansoni, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of February/27,/2023
• what: Methodology/Principal findings Based largely on PacBio High-Fidelity long reads the authors report a genome assembly size of 772 Mb for B. pfeifferi (Kenya) smaller in size than known genomes of other planorbid schistosome vectors. The authors report a high-quality de novo-assembled . . .
