Description Eudiplozoon nipponicum (family Diplozoidae, Polyopisthocotylea) is the hematophagous ectoparasite from the gills of cyprinid fish (Cyprinus carpio). The properties of genes (e.g. identity, structure, evolution) and proteins (e.g. function) of the members from the family Monogenea are among the less investigated in whole phylum Platyhelminthes. Up to now only two genomes and one transcriptome of monogenean species have been sequenced – genome of Protopolystoma xenopodis (Polyopisthocotylea) and Gyrodactylus salaris (Monopisthocotylea) and transcriptome of Neobenedenia melleni. Therefore we adopted the Illumina MiSeq/HiSeq techniques for sequencing the genomic DNA and RNA isolated from adult worms of E. nipponicum. This was followed by comprehensive bioinformatic analysis of sequential data.
