Unexpected Diversity and Differential Success of DNA Transposons in Four Species of Entamoeba Protozoans [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2005 We report the first comprehensive analysis of transposable element content in the compact genomes (approximately 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.
