Revisiting the Phylogenetic History of Helminths Through Genomics, the Case of the New Echinococcus oligarthrus Genome

Abstract excerpt

The first parasitic helminth genome sequence was published in 2007, since then only ~200 genomes have become available, most of them being draft assemblies. Nevertheless, despite the medical and economical global impact of helminthic infections, parasites genomes in public databases are under-represented. Recently, through an integrative approach involving morphological, genetic and ecological aspects, we have...
