寄生线虫(蛔虫)和扁形动物(扁形虫)造成人类和动物的慢性感染,使人衰弱,大量减少作物产量,是社会经济发展的主要障碍。在这里,我们报告了迄今为止最广泛的寄生虫和非寄生蠕虫的基因组比较研究,涉及81。我们已经确定了基因家族的出生和数百个扩展的基因家族在关键节点的寄生有关。例子包括调节宿主免疫反应的基因家族,使寄生虫能够通过宿主组织迁移或允许寄生虫进食。我们揭示了广泛的谱系特异性差异的核心代谢和蛋白质家族的历史上针对药物开发。通过计算机屏幕,我们已经确定并优先考虑新的潜在药物靶标和化合物进行测试。这种比较基因组学资源为研究界了解和对抗寄生蠕虫提供了急需的推动力。
Parasitic nematodes (roundworms) and platyhelminths (flatworms) cause debilitating chronic infections of humans and animals, decimate crop production and are a major impediment to socioeconomic development. Here we report the broadest comparative study to date of the genomes of parasitic and non-parasitic worms, involving 81. We have identified gene family births and hundreds of expanded gene families at key nodes in the phylogeny that are relevant to parasitism. Examples include gene families that modulate host immune responses, enable parasite migration though host tissues or allow the parasite to feed. We reveal extensive lineage-specific differences in core metabolism and protein families historically targeted for drug development. From an in silico screen, we have identified and prioritised new potential drug targets and compounds for testing. This comparative genomics resource provides a much needed boost for the research community to understand and combat parasitic worms.
