The genome of the kinetoplastid parasite, Leishmania major.

Alasdair Ivens, +103 more
- 15 Jul 2005 - 
TL;DR: The organization of protein-coding genes into long, strand-specific, polycistronic clusters and lack of general transcription factors in the L. major, Trypanosoma brucei, and Tritryp genomes suggest that the mechanisms regulating RNA polymerase II–directed transcription are distinct from those operating in other eukaryotes, although the trypanosomatids appear capable of chromatin remodeling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adipocyte P2 gene: Developmental expression and homology of 5'-flanking sequences among fat cell-specific genes

TL;DR: The results indicate that the aP2 gene contains sequence information necessary for differentiation-dependent expression in fat cells; common elements shared by adipocyte-specific genes may play a role in this process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Demonstration of genetic exchange during cyclical development of Leishmania in the sand fly vector.

TL;DR: Evidence is reported that the invertebrate stages of Leishmania are capable of having a sexual cycle consistent with a meiotic process like that described for African trypanosomes, and hybrids were generated that bore full genomic complements from both parents, but kinetoplast DNA maxicircles from one parent.

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases

TL;DR: Disease characteristics and serological responses in patients with differing severity of COVID-19 infection: A longitudinal cohort study in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stomach lysozymes of ruminants. I. Distribution and catalytic properties.

TL;DR: A survey of 23 mammalian species reveals that the lysozyme c activity per g of stomach mucosa is many times higher for ruminants and a leaf-eating monkey than for animals lacking a foregut.
