From: Characterization of the Schistosoma transcriptome opens up the world of helminth genomics
Resource | Application |
|---|---|
Fabrication of whole transcriptome DNA microarrays | Resource for expression-profiling experiments, for example, across life-stages, between genders and so on |
Construction of RNA interference (RNAi) libraries | Resource for the functional characterization of each deposited transcript |
Initiation of whole-genome sequencing projects | Blueprint/template resource for initiation/completion of whole-genome sequencing projects |
Characterization of proteome | Blueprint/template resource for identification of differentially expressed proteins, for example, across life-stages, between genders and so on |
Investigation of evolutionary relationship amongst the metazoa | Resource for advanced phylogenetic studies |
Identification of orthologous transcripts within or outside the genera | Resource for comparative genomic studies |
