Echinococcus granulosus

Genome Assembly & Annotation

Assembly

The E. granulosus genome was sequenced by the Parasite Genomics group at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in collaboration with Cecilia Fernandez (Universidad de la República, Uruguay). The version of the genome presented here was described by Tsai et al (2013), and corresponds to NCBI assembly EGRAN001.

Annotation

The original gene predictions were made by the Parasite Genomics group at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute as described by Tsai et al (2013). The gene models have since been subject to iterative improvement, and the version represented here is the March 2013 snapshot.
