A recent paper published in BMC Genomics suggests that retrotransposition may be active in the human gut parasite Entamoeba histolytica. This adds to our knowledge of the various types of repetitive elements in parasitic protists and the potential influence of such elements on pathogenicity.
最近发表在 BMC 基因组学上的一篇论文表明,逆转座可能在人类肠道寄生虫溶组织内阿米巴中活跃。这增加了我们对寄生虫原生动物中各种类型的重复元件的认识,以及这些元件对致病性的潜在影响。
