Annotation of Two Large Contiguous Regions from the Haemonchus contortus Genome Using RNA-seq and Comparative Analysis with Caenorhabditis elegans
Figure 5
Seven copies of HcRep sequence identified on BAC BH4E20.
A. Seven copies of the repeat element HcRep were identified on BAC BH4E20 and RNA-seq suggests they are expressed in the H. contortus genome. An Artemis screenshot shows the adjoining HcRep repeats (green), varying in length from 111 bp to 182 bp, and their association with a 56 bp GTCT tandem repeat (light blue). B. A neighbour-joining tree based on multiple sequence nucleotide alignment shows RepD, RepE, RepF and RepG share most homology with the published H. contortus HcRep consensus sequence (accession no. U86701), while RepA, RepB and RepC are more similar to T. circumcincta repeat element TcRep (accession no. M84610).
