De novo assembly and analysis of high sequencing-based transcriptome data of Taenia pisiformis

Taenia pisiformis is one of the most common intestinal tapeworms of canines. In this study, 2.67 million sequencing raw reads were generated using the Solexa/Illumina sequencing technology. The results are expected to acquire functional antigens, clearly know well biochemistry and neurobiology of T.pisiformis; to understand characteristic of gene distribution in three different Taeniidae species; to accelerate research of gene expression, functional genomics, and host-parasite interrelation in cestodes.
