Echinococcus_multilocularis - Genome Reference Consortium
About
Echinococcus multilocularis is a Fox-tapeworm, the larval stage of which causes alveolar echinococcosis in humans.
Due to its relative ease of cultivation, EMU is the first of the cestodes (tapeworms) to be sequenced and will serve as a reference for future projects.
E. multilocularis has an estimated genome size of 120MB with a GC content of 43%.
This was the first large scale sequencing project at Sanger to combine all three sequencing technologies (Capillary, 454 and Illumina) alongside a WGS approach.

Punchlist OverviewPunchlists
The E.multilocularis Punchlists are automated lists created to facilitate identification of and navigation to common issues or regions of interest.
Examples include:
- Gap Locations
- Overlap Issues
- Clone Spanning Locations
If you would like to recommend a punchlist to be added to a specific organism or in general please contact us
The Genome Reference Consortium
The E.multilocularis gEVAL is maintained and improved by the Genome Reference Consortium (GRC)
Jira Ticketing System: Jira is the ticketing tracking system used by the GRC for genome issues. This can be a gap, path, variation, gene or other issues submitted by external users
Comparative genomics
gEVAL provides intra-species alignments. This is available for intermediate builds, major reference releases, and WGS/NGS assemblies.
