Homologous Recombination in Protozoan Parasites and Recombinase Inhibitors
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Homologous recombination (HR) is a DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway that utilizes a homologous template to fully repair the damaged DNA. HR is critical to maintain genome stability and to ensure genetic diversity during meiosis. A specialized

DNA analysis of cattle parasitic protozoan Tritrichomonas foetus after photodynamic therapy [PDF]
Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy, 2017 Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a modality of therapy that involves the activation of photosensitive substances and the generation of cytotoxic oxygen species and free radicals to promote the selective destruction of target tissues. This study analyzed the application of PDT to Tritrichomonas foetus, a scourged and etiological agent of bovine ...

Telomeric localization of the modified DNA base J in the genome of the protozoan parasite Leishmania [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2007 Base J or beta-d-glucosylhydroxymethyluracil is a DNA modification replacing a fraction of thymine in the nuclear DNA of kinetoplastid parasites and of Euglena. J is located in the telomeric sequences of Trypanosoma brucei and in other simple repeat DNA sequences.
