Abstract

The intestinal protistan parasite Blastocystis is characterized by an extensive genetic variability with 17 subtypes (ST1-ST17) described to date. Only the whole genome of a human ST7 isolate was previously sequenced. Here we report the draft genome sequence of Blastocystis ST4-WR1 isolated from a laboratory rodent at Singapore.

Keywords: Annotation using Maker gene annotation pipeline; Blastocystis subtype 4-isolate WR1; Illumina-HiSeq; Whole genome.
