Long-Read Genome Assembly and Gene Model Annotations for the Rodent Malaria Parasite 17XNL.

Malaria causes over 200 million infections and over 600 thousand fatalities each year, with most cases attributed to a human-infectious species, . Many rodent-infectious species, like , and , have been used as genetically tractable model species that can expedite studies of this pathogen. In particular, is an especially good model for investigating the mosquito and liver stages of parasite development because key attributes closely resemble those of .
