2.5 Genome assembly
The draft assembly of the genome was assembled using mecat2 (Xiao et
al., 2017c) with default parameters. To correct errors in the primary
assembly, we used gcpp 1.9.0 to polish the genome after the initial
assembly of the genome was completed. In addition, we used BGI derived
short reads to correct any remaining errors by Pilon 1.22 (Walker et
al., 2014). Finally, we used BUSCO v3.0 (Simão et al., 2015) with
actinoperygii_odb9 to evaluate the completeness of the assembled
genome.
