Characterisation of polymorphic DNA and its application to typing of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar [PDF]
A key question in amoebiasis is whether the variable symptoms of amoebic infections are a reflection of different strains of E. histolytica. To address this, tools that allow typing of E. histolytica isolates are needed and this

EXOSC10, an essential nuclear RNA exosome‐associated 3′‐5′ exoribonuclease, is inhibited by the anticancer drug 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU), and EXOSC10 depletion increases 5‐FU sensitivity. The colon‐cancer variant EXOSC10S402T, located in a proteolysis motif, is stable and nuclear but nonfunctional in vivo.
