Microarray analysis of gene expression induced by sexual contact in Schistosoma mansoni (2007)

Waisberg, Michael, Lobo, Francisco P, Cerqueira, Gustavo C, Passos, Liana KJ, Carvalho, Omar S, Franco, Glória R, ...

Abstract Background The parasitic trematode Schistosoma mansoni is one of the major causative agents of Schistosomiasis, a disease that affects approximately 200 million people, mostly in developing...

Trypanosoma cruzimitochondrial maxicircles display species- and strain-specific variation and a conserved element in the non-coding region (2006)

Westenberger, Scott J, Cerqueira, Gustavo C, El-Sayed, Najib M, Zingales, Bianca, Campbell, David A, Sturm, Nancy R

Abstract Background The mitochondrial DNA of kinetoplastid flagellates is distinctive in the eukaryotic world due to its massive size, complex form and large sequence content. Comprised of catenated...

Analysis of a donor gene region for a variant surface glycoprotein and its expression site in African trypanosomes

LaCount, Douglas J., El-Sayed, Najib M., Kaul, Samir, Wanless, David, Turner, C. Michael R., Donelson, John E.

African trypanosomes evade the immune response of their mammalian hosts by sequentially expressing genes for different variant surface glycoproteins (VSGs) from telomere-linked VSG expression sites....

A New, Expressed Multigene Family Containing a Hot Spot for Insertion of Retroelements Is Associated with Polymorphic Subtelomeric Regions of Trypanosoma brucei

Bringaud, Frédéric, Biteau, Nicolas, Melville, Sara E., Hez, Stéphanie, El-Sayed, Najib M., Leech, Vanessa, ...

We describe a novel gene family that forms clusters in subtelomeric regions of Trypanosoma brucei chromosomes and partially accounts for the observed clustering of retrotransposons. The ingi and...

The genetic map and comparative analysis with the physical map of Trypanosoma brucei

MacLeod, Annette, Tweedie, Alison, McLellan, Sarah, Taylor, Sonya, Hall, Neil, Berriman, Matthew, ...

Trypanosoma brucei is the causative agent of African sleeping sickness in humans and contributes to the debilitating disease ‘Nagana’ in cattle. To date we know little about the genes that...

New Trypanosoma cruzi Repeated Element That Shows Site Specificity for Insertion▿

Souza, Renata T., Santos, Márcia R. M., Lima, Fábio M., El-Sayed, Najib M., Myler, Peter J., Ruiz, Jeronimo C., ...

A new family of site-specific repeated elements identified in Trypanosoma cruzi, which we named TcTREZO, is described here. TcTREZO appears to be a composite repeated element, since three subregions...
