Abstract:

Taeniasis is a group of parasitic diseases that seriously impairs human health and livestock husbandry. The control measures for the disease still need improvement. In recent years, molecular biology technology has emerged as an effective means to fight against taeniasis. Therefore, it is of significance to study the functions of tapeworm genes. This article introduces several techniques commonly used in functional genomics research, and reviews the progress of some important functional genomics of tapeworms in recent years.

Key words: Taenia, Gene, Functional genomics, Bioinformatics
