The Dec. 2009 Haemonchus contortus (Barber Pole worm) draft assembly (Sanger Institute) was produced by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute sequencing center.
A genome position can be specified by the accession number of a sequenced genomic region, an mRNA or EST, a chromosomal coordinate range, or keywords from the GenBank description of an mRNA. The following list shows examples of valid position queries for the H. contortus genome. See the User's Guide for more information.

See also: Sanger Institute project information. This draft assembly is composed of 59,708 contigs for a total size of 297,989,404 nucleotides. The largest contig, Hcon_Contig0000157, is 152,663 nucleotides. One half of the sequence, 148,994,702 bases, is contained in 5116 contigs, all of at least 13,340 bases (N50). There are 19,144,420 bases of gap, indicated by "N", in the sequence
The included mitochondrial sequence is from the genbank accession NC_010383.2.
