About
Schistosoma mansoni is a blood fluke of the genus Schistosoma. Schistosoma are responsible for the chronic debilitating disease schistosomiasis/bilharzia in humans.
Since 1994, the World Health Organization has supported a genome initiative for Schistosoma, the Schistosoma Genome Network, aimed at identifying new targets for drug and vaccine development, understanding the molecular basis of parasite metabolism and development and determining biological variation.
Schistosoma mansoni has an estimated genome size of 270MB. This sequencing project combines all three sequencing technologies (Capillary, 454 and Illumina) alongside a WGS approach.
Shown to have 7 autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (female = ZW, male = ZZ). Chromosomes range in size from 18 to 73 MB.

Punchlist OverviewPunchlists
The S.Mansoni 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

The Genome Reference Consortium
The S.Mansoni 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.
