Project description:High-throughput sequencing to profile the transcriptome of the human filarial nematode Brugia malayi, the causative agent of lymphatic filariasis, across multiple life-cycle stages.
Project description:Brugia pahangi is a parasitic nematode that is closely related to B. malayi and Wuchereria bancrofti. B. malayi and W. bancrofti are responsible for lymphatic filariasis, affecting around 120 million people in 73 countries worldwide.This project aims to undertake high-throughput sequencing of Brugia pahangi transcriptome. The objective is to use transcriptomics to support gene finding and to recognize genes expressed in given life stages.
Project description:We report our microarray analysis of Brugia malayi microfilariae-derived miRNA comparing parasite-derived EVs and supernatants Microarray analysis was performed using isolated RNA from three biological replicates of Brugia malayi microfilariae with a focus on the parasite-derived EVs and supernatant
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of adult males and females of the lymphatic dwelling filarial parasite Brugia malayi Keywords: Gender based transcripts, filaria
