Tapeworms are giant intestinal parasites that can reach 72 feet in length for the average adult. All live parasitically and have complex life histories. Most are hermaphroditic and are often self-fertilized. The majority of adults are parasitic in the digestive tract of vertebrates, while larvae are primarily parasitic in invertebrates or use vertebrates as intermediate hosts. These tapeworms live in the host's intestine and suck the nutrients from the host, so it can cause malnutrition in the host. In addition, there can be intestinal manifestations such as nausea, diarrhea and constipation. But in the case of the pig tapeworm, the risk is not limited to intestinal lesions. The larvae of the tapeworm, also known as cysticercus, can parasitize any part of the body and cause cysticercosis. For example, it can be found in the brain, causing cysticercosis; in the eye, causing ocular cysticercosis; and in the subcutaneous and muscular tissues, causing nodules in these areas. The most important and critical condition is cerebral cysticercosis, which can lead to increased cranial pressure and even death due to high cranial pressure and inflammation.

Tapeworms are a group of parasites that pose a serious health risk to humans/pigs/cattle and cause a significant economic burden every year. There are many species of tapeworms with different biological characteristics. Current prevention, control and treatment measures for cestode disease are inadequate and pose serious risks to animals and humans. With the development of bioinformatics and gene sequencing technologies, Ace Therapeutics provides genome-level sequencing and analysis of tapeworms, aiming to provide in-depth studies on the biological characteristics and regulatory genes of tapeworms to further prevent and control tapeworms, especially the important human-animal parasitic diseases such as echinococcosis and cysticercosis in humans and animals.

Genome Sequencing Service Options for Tapeworm

We have a technical team with extensive experience in omics and can currently implement a variety of services for sequencing and analysis at the genomic level, as listed below. Upon completion of the service, we will deliver a detailed report to you. If you want to know more, you are welcome to consult us.

• Genome de novo sequencing service for tapeworm

We provide genome denovo sequencing and analysis services for tapeworms, aiming to obtain reference sequences of tapeworms, study the origin and evolutionary history of tapeworms, mine functional genes, and build tapeworm databases for tapeworms.

• Whole exome sequencing (WES) service for tapeworm

We offer whole-exome sequencing (WES) and analysis services for tapeworms. This technology is cost-effective and can be used to identify and study variants in coding regions and UTR regions associated with pathogenesis and evolution. In combination with exome data available in a large number of public databases, it is useful to better interpret the resulting variants in relation to pathogenesis.

• Simplified genome sequencing service for tapeworm

We offer simplified genome sequencing and analysis services for tapeworms. We can rapidly develop thousands of SNPs / SSR molecular markers for molecular marker development, population genetic analysis, genetic map construction, QTL localization, genome-wide association analysis and more.

• Target sequence capture sequencing service for tapeworm

We offer targeted sequence capture sequencing and analysis services for tapeworms, allowing you to focus your limited efforts on your region of interest, with high targeting and cost savings, and can be used to discover and analyze SNP loci to help find many complex disease-causing associated genes and loci.
