Nematodes: Phylogenetics, Diversity, Genomics
The Blaxter lab has a core focus on the diversity, phylogenetics and genomics of nematodes (or roundworms).
Nematode Genomics Genome sequencing and expressed sequence tag sequencing from diverse nematode species, and analyses of their genomes Nematode Diversity DNA barcoding of environmental samples to identify nematode taxa Nematode Population Genetics a website offering access to tools and methods for population genetic analysis of nematode species Nematode Phylogenetics Using molecular data to analyse and illuminate the evolutionary biology of nematodes.

The parasitic nematode Trichinella spiralis. T. spiralis causes trichinosis in humans (and is the reason why we must cook pork and wild game well before eating). Its first stage larvae live INSIDE muscle cells. See NEMBASE3 for analyses of ESTs from this parasite and many other nematodes. |
