Abstract

Brugia pahangi is a zoonotic parasite that is closely related to human-infecting filarial nematodes. Here, we report the nearly complete genome of Brugia pahangi, including assemblies of four autosomes and an X chromosome, with only seven gaps. The Y chromosome is still not completely assembled.
