The Genome of the African Trypanosome Trypanosoma brucei

Matthew Berriman, +104 more
- 15 Jul 2005 - 
TL;DR: Comparisons of the cytoskeleton and endocytic trafficking systems of Trypanosoma brucei with those of humans and other eukaryotic organisms reveal major differences.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative genomics of trypanosomatid parasitic protozoa.

TL;DR: No evidence that these species are descended from an ancestor that contained a photosynthetic endosymbiont is revealed, and a conserved core proteome of about 6200 genes in large syntenic polycistronic gene clusters is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Soil-transmitted helminth reinfection after drug treatment: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: STH reinfections occur rapidly after treatment, particularly for A. lumbricoides and T. trichiura, and there is a need for frequent anthelmintic drug administrations to maximize the benefit of preventive chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

The plant mitochondrial genome: homologous recombination as a mechanism for generating heterogeneity

TL;DR: It is proposed that inter- and intramolecular homologous recombination can account for the diversity of the observed genome organizations, and unequal partitioning of the cytoplasm during cell division can lead to the rapid evolution of mitochondrial genome structure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predominance of Duplicative VSG Gene Conversion in Antigenic Variation in African Trypanosomes

TL;DR: It is proposed that nonadapted, or pleomorphic, trypanosomes normally have an active VSGswitch mechanism, involving gene duplication that is depressed, or from which a component is absent, in monomorphic lines.
