Nanopore sequencing significantly improves genome assembly of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi

Chagas disease was described by Carlos Chagas, who first identified the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi from a 2-year-old girl called Berenice. Many T. cruzi sequencing projects based on short reads have demonstrated that genome assembly and downstream comparative analyses are extremely challenging in th...
