Transcription profiling reveals stage- and function-dependent expression patterns in the filarial nematode Brugia malayi

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Brugia malayi is a nematode parasite that causes lymphatic filariasis, a disfiguring and disabiling tropical disease. Although a first draft genome sequence was released in 2007, very little is understood about transcription programs that govern developmental changes required for the parasite's development and survival in its mammalian and insect hosts. RESULTS: We used a microarray with probes that...
