Echinococcus multilocularis

Genome Assembly & Annotation

Assembly

The E. multilocularis reference genome was sequenced by the Parasite Genomics group at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in collaboration with Klaus Brehm (University of Würzburg). The initial version of the genome was described in Tsai et al (2013). The assembly has subsequently been improved, and the version represented here since ParaSite release 5 (January 2016) is NCBI EMULTI002 .

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 version represented since ParaSite version 5 (January 2016) here is the November 2015 snapshot.
