Sex-Biased Expression of MicroRNAs in Schistosoma mansoni
Schistosomiasis is an important neglected tropical disease caused by digenean helminth parasites of the genus Schistosoma. Schistosomes are unusual in that they are dioecious and the adult worms live in the blood system. MicroRNAs play crucial roles during gene regulation and are likely to be important in sex differentiation in dioecious species. Here we characterize 112 microRNAs from adult Sc...
متن کاملSingle nucleotide polymorphisms identification in expressed genes of Schistosoma mansoni.
Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers have been shown to be useful in genetic investigations of medically important parasites and their hosts. In this paper, we describe the prediction and validation of SNPs in ESTs of Schistosoma mansoni. We used 107,417 public sequences of S. mansoni and identified 15,614 high-quality candidate SNPs in 12,184 contigs. The presence of predicted SNPs was...
متن کاملIdentification of new markers for the Schistosoma mansoni vitelline lineage☆
Schistosomes cause significant morbidity and mortality in millions of the world's poorest people. While parasite egg-induced inflammation is the primary driver of host pathology, relatively little is known at the molecular level about the organ systems that participate in schistosome egg production (i.e., testes, ovaries and vitellaria). Here we use transcriptional profiling and in situ hybridi...
متن کاملMolecular Identification of Some Schistosoma mansoni Isolates in Saudi Arabia
In this paper, nine geographical isolates of Schistosoma mansoni (three from Egypt, three from Saudi Arabia and 3 from Puerto Rico) were studied at the genotype level by RAPD analysis with two arbitrary primers. The genetic distance was measured by the percentage of unshared bands. The RAPD results showed that the Egyptian strains were closely related to Saudi strains but Puerto Rico strains cl...
