Genome assembly of the Caenorhabditis remanei PX506 strain

Caenorhabditis remanei is an obligate outcrossing nematode, a member of the 'Elegans' supergroup. We generated a chromosome-level genome assembly of the C. remanei PX506 inbred strain created from a wild isolate from an isopod collected in a forest near Toronto (Canada) using PacBio and Hi-C data, Illumina reads. In addition to publicly available transcriptomic data, we obtained full-transcript sequences (IsoSeq) to annotate the genome.

雷曼隐杆线虫（Caenorhabditis remanei）是一种专性异交线虫，隶属于秀丽隐杆线虫类群（Elegans supergroup）。我们利用PacBio、Hi-C及Illumina测序数据，对从加拿大多伦多附近森林中某等足类动物体表分离的野生菌株构建的雷曼隐杆线虫PX506近交系，完成了染色体级别的基因组组装。除公开可用的转录组数据外，我们还获取了全长转录本序列（IsoSeq）以对该基因组进行注释。
