Abstract: Transcriptome sequencing technology (RNA-seq) is to inform all RNA sequences on a specific developmental stage or functional state in a particular tissue or cell through the high throughput sequencing method.The technology is widely used in biology,medicine,agriculture and other basic research,mainly because of accurate and high-throughput,as a powerful research tool.During the different stages of parasites,including development,infection and propagation,a series of complex biological changes occur.The differential expression genes in different stages of parasite development,function about the genes and the interactions in host-parasite are the key focus of current research.On the basis of the above,the summary of the application of RNA-seq technology in parasite research is summarized.

Key words: transcriptome sequencing; differential expression gene; parasite
