Nematode Genomic and Proteomic Data for Comparative Parasite Study

Four spreadsheets catalog genome sequences, coding sequences, proteomes, and gene annotations for relevant nematodes, sourced from WormBase and WormBase ParaSite. The dataset includes Coghlan gene predictions, an A. ceylanicum genome assembly, and proteome databases from UniProt and RefSeq. Author Erich M. Schwarz published the data on figshare in March 2026 under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics analysis based on genome sequences and gene annotations from multiple nematode species.
• Proteomic studies leveraging proteome databases from highly GO-annotated model organisms like UniProt and RefSeq.
• Transcriptomic pipeline development using the provided coding DNA sequence (CDS) sets.
• Functional annotation of parasite genes based on the included GFF format gene annotation files.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from authoritative biological databases including WormBase, WormBase ParaSite, UniProt, and RefSeq.
• The dataset is structured into four separate, purpose-labeled spreadsheets for genomes, proteomes, CDS, and gene annotations.
• Each data file entry includes a species label, a comment on its use in the original study, and a source URL.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 13.9 KB, indicating it is a catalog of file references rather than containing the sequence data itself.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
