TITLE Direct Submission JOURNAL Submitted (27-JAN-2014) The Genome Institute, Washington University School of Medicine, 4444 Forest Park, St. Louis, MO 63108, USA COMMENT Trichuris suis contaminated a dirt lot located at the USDA, Agricultural Research Service, Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, Animal Parasitic Disease Laboratory in Beltsville, MD since the early 1960s. Adult worms were isolated for passage from pigs placed on the lot and naturally infected. The T. suis adults were manually removed from the cecum and proximal colon tissue and cultured in vitro to release fertilized eggs that were removed after 24-48 hours and embryonated to an infective stage (Hill et al., Experimental Parasitology 77, 170-178, 1993). The strain has been actively passed in pigs one to two times per year since that time and characterized for pathogenesis in pigs (Mansfield and Urban, Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology 50, 1-17, 1996). This strain of T. suis has also been used therapeutically in human subjects with inflammatory bowel disease (Trichuris suis therapy in Crohn's disease. Summers RW, Elliott DE, Urban JF Jr, Thompson R, Weinstock JV. Gut. 2005 Jan;54(1):87-90. The Genome Institute collaborators that provided material for the genome/transcriptome sequencing are: USDA - Urban, Jr., J.F., Hill, D. E. and Michigan State University - Mansfield L.S. The repeat library was generated using Repeatmodeler (A. Smit, R. Hubley http://www.systemsbiology.org/). The Ribosomal RNA genes were identified using RNAmmer ((http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/cgi-bin/nph-sw_request?rnammer ) and transfer RNA's were identified with tRNAscan-SE (Lowe and Eddy, 1997). Non-coding RNAs, such as microRNAs, were identified by sequence homology search of the Rfam database (http://selab.janelia.org/software.html). Repeats and predicted RNA's were then masked using RepeatMasker (A. Smit, R. Hubley & P. Green http://repeatmasker.org). Protein-coding genes were predicted using a combination of ab initio programs Snap (I. Korf, 2004), Fgenesh (Softberry, Corp) and Augustus (M. Stanke, et. Al 2008) and the annotation pipeline tool Maker (M. Yandell et. al., 2007) which aligns mRNA, EST and protein information from same species or cross-species to aid in gene structure determination and modifications. A consensus gene set from the above prediction algorithms was generated, using a logical, hierarchical approach developed at the Genome institute. Gene product naming was determined by BER (JCVI: http://ber.sourceforge.net). Our goal is to explore this WGS draft sequence of Trichuris suis to better define proteins involved in nematode parasitism that impact health and disease and are relevant to both host-parasite relationships and basic biological processes.
