Israeli strain of Babesia ovis genome sequenced with PacBio HiFi
Original: Genome assembly and gene annotation of Babesia ovis Israeli strain (Piroplasmida: Babesiidae) using PacBio HiFi sequencing
Researchers have assembled the genome and annotated the genes of the Israeli strain of Babesia ovis, a tick-borne parasite affecting sheep, using PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing. Published in Nature's portfolio of scientific data papers, the work provides a high-quality reference genome intended to support future research on the parasite's biology, drug targets and vaccine development. Details of methods and datasets have been made openly available to other researchers.
Why now: A newly published high-quality genome assembly offers a resource that could advance research into a parasite of veterinary importance.
