Chromosome-level genome assembly of Oncomelania hupensis: the intermediate snail host of Schistosoma japonicum

ConclusionsIntegrated use of multiple sequencing technologies, we have successfully constructed the genome at the chromosomal-level ofO. hupensis. These data will not only provide the compressive genomic information, but also benefit future work on population genetics of this snail as well as evolutional studies betweenS. japonicum and the snail host.Graphical Abstract
