This paper aims to review the applications of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the
detection and identification of trypanosomes in animals. The diagnosis of trypanosomes …

Microarray technology has undergone a rapid evolution. With widespread interest in large-
scale genomic research, an abundance of equipment and reagents have now become …

BioTechniques 34: 374-378 (February 2003) supported, MADAM is being adapted to read
and write MAGE-ML, the XML data exchange format being developed by an international …

Transcription of protein-coding genes in trypanosomes is polycistronic and gene expression
is primarily regulated by post-transcriptional mechanisms. Sequence motifs in the …

A novel large multigene family was recently identified in the human pathogen Trypanosoma
cruzi, causative agent of Chagas disease, and corresponds to∼ 6% of the parasite diploid …

Most eukaryotic genomes contain large regions of satellite DNA. These arrays are often
associated with essential chromosomal functions, but remain largely absent from genome …

Studies of host–parasite interactions in birds have contributed greatly to our understanding
of the evolution and ecology of disease. Here we employ molecular techniques to determine …

In common with all eukaryotic cells, trypanosomes must coordinate a complex series of
morphogenetic events both temporally and spatially during the cell cycle. The structural and …

Faithful transmission of genetic material is essential for the survival of all organisms.
Eukaryotic chromosome segregation is driven by the kinetochore that assembles onto …

We studied the function of a Trypanosoma brucei topoisomerase II using RNA interference
(RNAi). Expression of a topoisomerase II double‐stranded RNA as a stem–loop caused …
