Identification of the Boudicca and Sinbad retrotransposons in the genome of the human blood fluke Schistosoma haematobium   (2006)

Claudia S Copeland, Fred A Lewis, Paul J Brindley

Schistosomes have a comparatively large genome, estimated for Schistosoma mansoni   to be about 270 megabase pairs (haploid genome). Recent findings have shown that mobile genetic elements...

Maria E. Morales, Clara B. Ocampo, Horacio Cadena, Claudia S. Copeland, Michael Termini, Dawn M. Wesson

We report 2 polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods for distinguishing morphologically similar gregarine species based on amplification of variable regions of the internal transcribed spacer...

Boudicca, a Retrovirus-Like Long Terminal Repeat Retrotransposon from the Genome of the Human Blood Fluke Schistosoma mansoni

Copeland, Claudia S., Brindley, Paul J., Heyers, Oliver, Michael, Scott F., Johnston, David A., Williams, David L., ...

The genome of Schistosoma mansoni contains a proviral form of a retrovirus-like long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposon, designated Boudicca. Sequence and structural characterization of the new...
