The contributions of the Genome Project to the study of schistosomiasis.
In this paper we review the impact that the availability of the Schistosoma mansoni genome sequence and annotation has had on schistosomiasis research. Easy access to the genomic information is important and several types of data are currently being integrated, such as proteomics, microarray and polymorphic loci. Access to the genome annotation and powerful means of extracting information are major resources to the research community.
