As part of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute's Five Year Plan, a major programme of Helminth sequencing is underway. Initially reference genomes are planned, which will include high coverage sequencing with some finishing. These will be followed by draft coverage whole genome shotgun sequencing of comparator species. All data from these projects are immediately and freely available. Please read our data release policy and guidelines and conditions on use of data.

Please address all enquiries to Martin Aslett (Pathogen Sequencing Web Master - email: maa@sanger.ac.uk).

This sequencing centre plans on publishing the completed and annotated sequences in a peer-reviewed journal as soon as possible. Permission of the principal investigator should be obtained before publishing analyses of the sequence/open reading frames/genes on a chromosome or genome scale.
