To evaluate genetic variability among Entamoeba histolytica strains, we sequenced 9,077 bp from each of 14 isolates. The polymorphism rates from coding and noncoding regions were significantly different (0.07% and 0.37%, respectively), indicating that these regions are subject to different selection pressures. Additionally, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) potentially associated with specific clinical outcomes were identified.
为评估溶组织内阿米巴菌株之间的遗传变异性,我们对14个分离株的每个菌株的9077个碱基对进行了测序。编码区和非编码区的多态性率存在显著差异(分别为0.07%和0.37%),这表明这些区域受到不同的选择压力。此外,还鉴定出了可能与特定临床结果相关的单核苷酸多态性(SNP)。
