Protein Domains Overrepresented in Intestine-Biased Genes of Hookworm A. ceylanicum

9.5 KB of data from figshare identifies protein domains disproportionately encoded in genes with intestine-biased expression in the parasitic hookworm Ancylostoma ceylanicum. Author Erich M. Schwarz published this dataset under a CC-BY-4.0 license, with a last update recorded as 2026-03 17. The data likely supports research into novel therapeutic targets for intestinal parasitic nematodes, which infect hundreds of millions of people.

Use Cases

• Identifying potential drug targets based on overrepresented protein domains in intestinal tissues
• Comparative genomics analysis of parasitic nematodes based on mentioned orthologs and related species
• Prioritizing candidate genes for functional validation based on intestine-biased expression patterns

Strengths

• Small 9.5 KB file size enables quick download and inspection
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for broad reuse
• Platform tags provide specific biological context (e.g., 'Intestinal Tissues Dissected', '500 Million People')

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection

Provenance

figshare, author Erich M. Schwarz

Collection Method

Likely derived from comparative genomic and transcriptomic analysis of Ancylostoma ceylanicum, as suggested by platform tags referencing mass spectrometry and gene orthologs.
