Assembly

The genome of Paramecium tetraurelia strain d4-2 was sequenced by Genoscope in collaboration with the French National Research Organization and the French National DNA Sequencing Centre. The assembly was imported from the sequence submitted to the European Nucleotide Archive (assembly GCA_000165425). The 72-Mb draft assembly of the macronuclei is presented here.

Annotation

The protein-coding gene annotation of the Paramecium tetraurelia genome has been imported from that submitted to the European Nucleotide Archive (GCA_000165425).

Non-coding RNA genes have been annotated using tRNAScan-SE (Lowe, T.M. and Eddy, S.R. 1997), RFAM (Griffiths-Jones et al 2005), and RNAmmer (Lagesen K.,et al 2007); additional analysis tools have also been applied.
