The complete genome sequence of Eimeria tenella (Tyzzer 1929), a common gut parasite of chickens

We present a genome assembly from a clonal population of Eimeria tenella Houghton parasites (Apicomplexa; Conoidasida; Eucoccidiorida; Eimeriidae). The genome sequence is 53.25 megabases in span. The entire assembly is scaffolded into 15 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with complete mitochondrion and apicoplast organellar genomes also present.
