Introduction to Anatomy.

, commonly known as the human threadworm, is a skin-penetrating gastrointestinal parasitic nematode that infects hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Like other species, is capable of cycling through a single free-living generation. Although and the free-living nematode are evolutionarily distant, the free-living adults of are similar enough in size and morphology to adults that techniques for generating transgenics and knockouts in have been successfully adapted for use in .

The RNA-seq Browser: a web-based application for on-demand analysis of publicly available spp. bulk RNA-sequencing data.

The RNA-seq Browser is an open-source Shiny web app that enables on-demand visualization and quantification of bulk RNA-sequencing data for five species: , , , , and . The app is designed to allow researchers without previous coding experience to interactively explore publicly available RNA-sequencing data. Key app features include the ability to plot gene expression across life stages for user-specified gene sets, and modules for performing differential gene expression analyses.

A standard workflow for community-driven manual curation of genome annotations.

Advances in the functional genomics and bioinformatics toolkits for species have positioned these species as genetically tractable model systems for gastrointestinal parasitic nematodes. As community interest in mechanistic studies of species continues to grow, publicly accessible reference genomes and associated genome annotations are critical resources for researchers. Genome annotations for multiple species are broadly available via the WormBase and WormBase ParaSite online repositories.
