Leishmania mexicana U1103 genome sequence

This dataset contains the genome sequence determined for Leishmania mexicana (strain MHOM/GT/2001/U1103). This genome sequence was assembled de novo using capillary sequencing reads generated from a whole genome shotgun library by Rogers et al (2011. Genome Res 21, 2129–2142. PMID: 22038252). The genome is assembled into 34 pseudo-chromosomes and 554 additional contigs without a precise chromosomal assignment. The Fasta file included in this dataset was downloaded from TriTrypDB (release 67; May 21, 2025). According to the TriTrypDB notes, this genome version corresponds to the NCBI entry GCA_000234665.4.
