Project name: Oxytricha trifallax

Description: Oxytricha trifallax's somatic genome is highly fragmented, with thousands of chromosomes averaging only 3.2 kbp. This makes it possible to capture many whole chromosomes in single PacBio sequencing reads. In this project we explore the benefits produce an updated version of the Oxytricha macronuclear genome including contigs that represent whole chromosome sequences derived from single reads.

Data type: raw sequence reads

Sample scope: Multiisolate

Relevance: ModelOrganism
