Alternate genome assemblies of Halicephalobus mephisto

<p>Alternate genome assemblies were generated using Illumina data from a published study (Weinstein et al, 2019) publicly available&nbsp;on&nbsp;Sequence Reads Archive (SRA) at accession PRJNA528747. Assemblies were generated with either Platanus or SoapDenovo2 using varying step-sizes (Platanus) or kmers (SoapDenovo2) and using either a 1kb&nbsp;or 200bp&nbsp;cutoff on scaffold lengths. These assemblies were then analyzed in a separate study (under&nbsp;review) to identify regional expansions or contractions associated with high levels of heterozygosity.</p> <p>Cited:</p> <p>Weinstein, D.J., Allen, S.E., Lau, M.C.Y.&nbsp;<em>et al.</em>&nbsp;The genome of a subterrestrial nematode reveals adaptations to heat.&nbsp;<em>Nat Commun</em>&nbsp;<strong>10,&nbsp;</strong>5268 (2019). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-13245-8</p>
