The paper sequences and analyzes the genome of Myxobolus sp., a myxozoan parasite, revealing its large size, high repetitiveness, and gene family expansions, suggesting functional roles in host interaction.

This study shows that the nematode Heligmosomoides bakeri can opportunistically feed on blood, leading to increased collagen gene expression and growth advantage, suggesting broader blood-feeding behavior in nematodes.

This paper constructs a single-cell transcriptomics atlas for the parasitic nematode Heligmosomoides bakeri using orthologs from C. elegans to compare cell types and biological processes.

This paper generates RNA-seq data from Heligmosomoides bakeri across its parasitic life stages, identifying sexual dimorphism, stress responses, and developmental gene expression patterns.
