The Progress of Parasite Genomics

The health of people and animals are seriously endangered by parasitic diseases which are difficult to prevent and treat. With the rapid development of molecular biology technology, it may be possible to use technical means to control parasitic diseases. This paper mainly introduces the composition and characteristics of the parasite gene; the current status of sequencing; the research skill of genome sequencing, analysis, gene function and proteomics. The purpose of this paper is to supply new methods to identify the species of parasites, to show the new direction in diagnosing parasitic disease, and to design medicines and develop vaccines.
