Abstract
Whole-genome sequence data have made significant contributions to studies of the biology and transmission of Cryptosporidium spp. Well-assembled genomes, free of sequence ambiguity and structural errors, are critical for comparative genomic analysis at the species and subtype levels. The optimized method for Cryptosporidium genome assembly described here comprises several individual protocols to generate chromosome- and contig-level genomes.
期刊介绍:
For over 20 years, biological scientists have come to rely on the research protocols and methodologies in the critically acclaimed Methods in Molecular Biology series. The series was the first to introduce the step-by-step protocols approach that has become the standard in all biomedical protocol publishing. Each protocol is provided in readily-reproducible step-by-step fashion, opening with an introductory overview, a list of the materials and reagents needed to complete the experiment, and followed by a detailed procedure that is supported with a helpful notes section offering tips and tricks of the trade as well as troubleshooting advice.
