Plasmodium falciparum is the species of human malaria parasite that causes the most severe form of the disease. Here, we used single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing technology from Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) to sequence, assemble de novo, and annotate the genome of a P. falciparum NF54 clone.
