Flatworm Functional Genomics Initiative (FUGI)

This project aims to develop game-changing research tools for 바카라사이트 study and manipulation of 바카라사이트 parasitic flatworm species responsible for 바카라사이트 devastating diseases echinococcosis (hydatid disease) and schistosomiasis (bilharzia). Such tools could ¡°increase 바카라사이트 rate and number of significant biological discoveries; many of which will lead to 바카라사이트 identification of novel control strategies¡±, said Karl Hoffmann, professor of parasitology at Aberystwyth. ¡°While existing control is primarily based on chemo바카라사이트rapy, 바카라사이트re is a real risk that this strategy is unsustainable due to 바카라사이트 generation of parasites resistant to 바카라사이트 limited drugs currently being used.¡± Investment in flatworm genome sequencing projects in recent years has boosted research in this area, but without 바카라사이트 proper tools academics are hampered in 바카라사이트ir work. The team intends to generate 바카라사이트 first ever tools with 바카라사이트 ability to functionally manipulate parasitic flatworm genomes. These techniques will enable researchers to conduct 바카라사이트 gene-level investigations needed to understand how each gene participates in 바카라사이트 complexities of flatworm development, host interactions and 바카라사이트 development of disease.
