Sudha Bhattacharya,Satish V Khadilkar,Atchayaram Nalini,Aparna Ganapathy,Ashraf U Mannan,Partha P. Majumder,Alok Bhattacharya +6 more
TL;DR: The mutation spectrum of GNE myopathy in India is investigated in relation to the population diversity in the country and the most frequent mutation was p.Val727Met, likely to be a founder mutation of Indian subcontinent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathogenesis of infection by Entamoeba histolytica
TL;DR: Recent technical advances, which includes the development of a transfection system to introduce genes into trophozoites, should help to understand the mechanism of pathogenesis in amoebiasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Entamoeba histolytica extrachromosomal circular ribosomal DNA: analysis of clonal variation in a hypervariable region.
TL;DR: The ribosomal RNA genes of the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica are highly repeated and display restriction fragment length polymorphism, and an analysis of the DNA bands generated by EcoRI digestion of Entamoe DNA is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advances in Entamoeba histolytica Biology Through Transcriptomic Analysis.
TL;DR: The observations that regulation of carbohydrate metabolism may be an important determinant for tissue invasion, while the novel up-regulated genes during encystation include phospholipase D, and meiotic genes, suggesting the possibility of meiosis during the process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic distribution of SINEs in Entamoeba histolytica strains: implication for genotyping
Vandana Kumari,Lakshmi Rani Iyer,Riti Roy,Varsha Bhargava,Suchita Panda,Jaishree Paul,Jaco J. Verweij,C. Graham Clark,Alok Bhattacharya,Sudha Bhattacharya +9 more
TL;DR: The results reveal several loci with extensive polymorphism of SINE occupancy among different strains of E. histolytica and prove the principle that the genomic distribution of Sines is a valid method for typing of NLP strains.
