- Brugia Malayi Genome ProjectElodie Ghedin; Fiscal Year: 2002..malayi. ..
- High-throughput Analysis of Brugia malayi mRNA 5' endsElodie Ghedin; Fiscal Year: 2005..This could potentially lead to the discovery of previously undiscovered operons in 8. malayi. Moreover, the collection of trans-spliced genes will serve as a comparative marker for evolutionary studies in nematodes. ..
