Annotation of two large contiguous regions from the Haemonchus contortus genome using RNA-seq and comparative analysis with Caenorhabditis elegans. by Roz Laing, Martin Hunt, Anna V Protasio, Gary Saunders, Karen Mungall, Steven Laing, Frank Jackson, Michael Quail, Robin Beech, Matthew Berriman, John S Gilleard

“…In total, 40 genes and 12 putative transposable elements were identified. 97.5% of the annotated genes had detectable homologues in C. elegans of which 60% had putative orthologues, significantly higher than previous analyses based on EST analysis. Gene density appears to be less in H. contortus than in C. elegans, with annotated H. contortus genes being an average of two-to-three times larger than their putative C. elegans orthologues due to a greater intron number and size. …”
