Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of probable genes by Fourier analysis of genomic sequences
Shrish Tiwari,Srinivasan Ramachandran,Alok Bhattacharya,Sudha Bhattacharya,Ramakrishna Ramaswamy +4 more
TL;DR: The aim is to use Fourier techniques to analyse this periodicity, and thereby to develop a tool to recognize coding regions in genomic DNA, and find that the relative-height of the peak at f = 1/3 in the Fourier spectrum is a good discriminator of coding potential.
Book ChapterDOI
Structure and content of the Entamoeba histolytica genome.
Clark Cg,Alsmark Uc,Tazreiter M,Yumiko Saito-Nakano,Ali,Sabrina Marion,Christian Weber,Chandrama Mukherjee,Iris Bruchhaus,Egbert Tannich,Matthias Leippe,Thomas Sicheritz-Pontén,Peter G. Foster,John Samuelson,Christophe Noël,Robert P. Hirt,TM Embley,Carol A. Gilchrist,Barbara J. Mann,Upinder Singh,John P. Ackers,Sudha Bhattacharya,Alok Bhattacharya,Anuradha Lohia,Nancy Guillén,Michael Duchêne,Tomoyoshi Nozaki,Neil Hall +27 more
TL;DR: This chapter summarises the features of the genome as they are currently understood and provides previously unpublished analyses of many of the genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium binding protein 1 of the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica interacts with actin and is involved in cytoskeleton dynamics.
Nivedita Sahoo,Elisabeth Labruyère,Sudha Bhattacharya,Parimal C. Sen,Nancy Guillén,Alok Bhattacharya +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that EhCaBP1 may be involved in dynamic membrane restructuring at the time of cell pseudopod formation, phagocytosis and endocyTosis in a process mediated by direct binding of EhCa BP1 to actin, affecting the bundling of actin filaments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mobile genetic elements in protozoan parasites.
TL;DR: Mobile genetic elements, by virtue of their ability to move to new chromosomal locations, are considered important in shaping the evolutionary course of the genome and many of the potentially autonomous elements that encode their own transposition functions have nonautonomous counterparts that probably utilize the functions intrans.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Ribosomal DNA Plasmids of Entamoeba
TL;DR: This review summarizes current knowledge on the structural organization and replication of the Entamoeba rDNA plasmids and states that no protein-coding genes (including ribosomal protein genes) are found on any of them.
