The Sanger Institute is carrying out a combined sequencing and mapping project of Brugia malayi in collaboration with Mark Blaxter at The University of Edinburgh. This project involves end sequencing of over 4600 BACs and producing 150kb of finished sequence of the region around the MIF-1 locus, which is covered by 7 BAC sequences that have been mapped by the Blaxter Lab. For full analysis of the data from these projects and other nematode genomics projects, visit the Blaxter Lab Web Site. We are also sequencing a large number of nematode ESTs in collaboration with the Blaxter Lab in an effort to compare the genomes of related species.
An update of the progress of these projects is available here.
Access to the Brugia malayi Sequence data
Access to preliminary unfinished sequence is provided. See our data release policy for more details. At present the sequence has not yet been assembled into contigs and the data consists of single readings only. All sequences produced at The Sanger Institute can be downloaded from the Sanger Institute FTP site.
