LGAAP: Leishmaniinae Genome Assembly and Annotation Pipeline

Abstract

We present the LGAAP computational pipeline, which was successfully used to assemble six genomes of the parasite subfamily Leishmaniinae to chromosome-scale completeness from a combination of long- and short-read sequencing data. LGAAP is open source, and we suggest that it may easily be ported for assembly of any genome of comparable size (∼35 Mb).
