Unexpected Diversity and Differential Success of DNA Transposons in Four Species of Entamoeba Protozoans
2005
Molecular biology and evolution
We report the first comprehensive analysis of transposable element content in the compact genomes (;20 Mb) of four species of Entamoeba unicellular protozoans for which draft sequences are now available. Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar, two human parasites, have many retrotransposons, but few DNA transposons. In contrast, the reptile parasite Entamoeba invadens and the free-living Entamoeba moshkovskii contain few long interspersed elements but harbor diverse and recently amplified
