Shenzhen, China -- An international team of researchers, led by the University of Melbourne and BGI, has sequenced the draft genome of Ascaris suum, a parasitic roundworm of pig.

The team sequenced the nuclear genome of Ascaris suum which is an easier worm to study in the laboratory and mainly only infects ... Ascaris suum draft genome. Nature, 2011; DOI: 10.1038/nature10553; ...
