First Draft Genome of the Trypanosomatid <i>Herpetomonas muscarum ingenoplastis</i> through MinION Oxford Nanopore Technology and Illumina Sequencing

Abstract

Here, we present first draft genome sequence of the trypanosomatid Herpetomonas muscarum ingenoplastis. This parasite was isolated repeatedly in the black blowfly, Phormia regina, and it forms a phylogenetically distinct clade in the Trypanosomatidae family.
