Hymenolepis nana- malignant transformation, Colombia
This experiment involves a clinical case of aberrant proliferative Hymenolepis nana infection that was metastatic in an HIV-infected individual.  The hypothesis was to evaluate for structural genomic variants compatible with cancer, by mapping to the draft Hymenolepis nana reference genome (parasite.wormbase.org) in comparison to normal H.nana laboratory reference specimen.  DNA was extracted from the lymph node specimen, RNase treated, and library constructed using Illumina MiSeq kit v2. Of 10.2 million reads, 8.5 million were removed by mapping to the human genome (GRCh37) resulting in 1.7 million reads.
