Preliminary analysis of the 407357 T. circumcincta ESTs.

T. circumcincta ESTs	Numbers (percentage)
Raw sequences obtained	407357
Cleaned sequences	366897 (90.06)
Clusters of multiple sequences (contigs)	22382 (5.4)
Clusters of singletons	17470 (4.2)
Total rESTs	39852 (9.7)
Putative peptides	24013 (60.25 % rESTs)
E/S proteins (cut-off: 0.5)	112

The contigs and singletons generated by preprocessing, overall representative ESTs (rESTs), peptides from conceptual translation and putative excretory-secretory (E/S) proteins identified are shown.
