About this document
Brugia malayi Genome Assembly Insights by Adam Smith is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1. Researchers sequenced and assembled the genome of the filarial nematode Brugia malayi, which causes lymphatic filariasis in humans. 2. The assembly was challenging due to an unusually large number of singleton reads that could not be placed and non-uniform coverage across the genome. 3. Based on the assembled sequence and size of unassembled fragments, researchers estimated the size of the B. malayi genome to be approximately 95-103 megabases.
