List of Filarial DNA Libraries

One of the goals of the Filarial Genome Initiative is to provide to the research community a set of accredited libraries for performing EST sequencing, immunoscreening and other experiments on.

See here for a graphical view of the Brugia lifecycle and available libraries

Additional libraries have been made available by other filarial researchers.

Each link will take you to a datasheet on the library
including instructions on how to obtain an aliquot.
