Sequencing, pretreatment, and annotation of Paragonimus proliferus transcriptome. The transcriptome of adult P. proliferus was sequenced using RNA-Seq (Hi-Seq Illumina X 4000). A total of 119.20 Mb raw reads were obtained, and 89.34 clean reads remained after removing low-quality and adaptor-polluted reads and reads with a high N content. The total number of clean bases, Q20, Q30, and clean reads ratio were 13.40 Gb, 96.85%, 91.23%, and 74.95, respectively. Trinity assembly of the clean reads generated 47,959 transcripts (total length: 22,204,462 bp, mean length: 462 bp, N50: 632 bp, N70: 339 bp, N90: 209 bp, GC content: 47.83%). A total of 29,967 unigenes (total length, 17,089,849 bp; mean length, 570 bp; N50, 826 bp; N70, 446 bp; N90, 249 bp; GC content, 47.36%) were further obtained after clustering and removal of redundant sequences using Tgicl. Finally, a total of 20,669 (68.97%) unigenes were annotated using seven functional databases: NR, 19,994 (66.72%); NT, 11,458 (38.24%); Swiss-Prot, 13,794 (46.03%); KEGG, 14,131 (47.16%); COG, 6,766 (22.58%); Interpro, 12,626 (42.13%); and GO, 9,659 (32.23%).

Species distribution of annotated unigenes in the Paragonimus proliferus transcriptome. A total of 26.25%, 22.36%, 20.83%, and 3.7% of the annotated unigenes belonged to the genera and species Opisthorchis viverrini, Culex quinquefasciatus, Clonorchis sinensis, and Halyomorpha halys, respectively, whereas 28.86% belonged to other species.
