A project to shotgun sequence the genome of the IT parasite line is underway as a component of the BioMalPar Consortium(European Union 6th Framework Program, Contract number LSHP-LT-2004-503578). This initiative is in collaboration with Chris Newbold of the Molecular Parasitology Group, Institute of Molecular Medicine, Oxford. Illumina sequencing will be used to aid assembly and to improve base accuracy. This data is part of a pre-publication release.
