Moniezia expansa Transcriptome or Gene expression. Moniezia expansa

The first large-scale quantitative analysis of the M.expansa adult tapeworm transcriptome atlas, obtained using RNA Sequencing (RNA-seq). Moniezia expansa. Adult tapeworms were isolated from the intestines of freshly slaughtered sheep. The generation of sequences from this important parasite should reveal the gene expression profile and provide a molecular resource for further gene expression studies. Genes involved in reproduction and growth may be of interest for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic tools.
