Leishmania major (Friedlin): fasta files for protein-coding genes, coding sequences (CDS) and protein sequences

A de novo assembly of the 36 chromosomes for Leishmania major (Friedlin strain) was attained in 2021 [see: Camacho, E., González-de la Fuente, S., Solana, J.C., Rastrojo, A., Carrasco-Ramiro, F., Requena, J.M., and Aguado, B. (2021). Gene annotation and transcriptome delineation on a de novo genome assembly for the reference leishmania major Friedlin strain. Genes (Basel). 12, 1359. PMID: 34573340]
The sequence of the genome can be downloaded at:
- Mendeley data: LMJFC_Genome sequence (https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/mcxg7rt2rv/1)

In this Mendeley data entry, the following files can be downloaded:
- LMJFC_ProteinCodingGenes_24may23.Fasta [Fasta file with sequences of the gene models for all protein-coding genes annotated to date]
- LMJFC_CDS_24may23.Fasta [Fasta file with the sequences of the protein-coding sequences (CDS) annotated to date]
- LMJFC_Proteins_24may23.Fasta [Fasta file with the sequences of the proteins annotated to date]

These archives would be valuable for whole-organism approaches, such as differential gene expression, proteomics, and phylogenetic analyses, among others.
Our commitment is to update this entry as soon as annotation improvements are produced.
