A multigene family encoding surface glycoproteins in Trypanosoma congolense [PDF]
Microbial Cell, 2017 Trypanosoma congolense, the causative agent of the most important livestock disease in Africa, expresses specific surface proteins involved in its parasitic lifestyle. Unfortunately, the complete repertoire of such molecules is far from being deciphered.

Telemedicine Competencies in Family Medicine Clerkships: A CERA Study [PDF]
, 2023 Background: While the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) designated cross-disciplinary telemedicine competencies, curricular implementation is at disparate stages across medical schools and with significant curricular gaps.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Guanylate binding proteins (GBPs) are paramount in the host immunity by providing defense against invading pathogens. Multigene families related to the immune system usually show that the duplicated genes can either undergo deletion, gain new functions ...

Multigene families and vestigial sequences [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1986 Random duplication and deletion events generate complex genomes carrying a large amount of dispensable sequences. We have simulated such events in a computer model. We followed the evolution of a genome carrying at least one copy of each type of gene.

Architecture, Chromatin and Gene Organization of Toxoplasma gondii Subtelomeres
Epigenomes, 2022 Subtelomeres (ST) are chromosome regions that separate telomeres from euchromatin and play relevant roles in various biological processes of the cell. While their functions are conserved, ST structure and genetic compositions are unique to each species ...

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1998 Most vascular plants can acquire phosphate from the environment either directly, via the roots, or indirectly, via a fungal symbiont that invades the cortical cells of the root. Here we have identified two cDNA clones (MtPT1 and MtPT2) encoding phosphate

Species-Specific Duplication of Surface Antigen Genes in Paramecium
Microorganisms, 2022 Paramecium is a free-living ciliate that undergoes antigenic variation and still the functions of these variable surface antigen coats in this non-pathogenic ciliate remain elusive.

A new computational approach redefines the subtelomeric
BMC Genomics, 2013 Background Subtelomeric multigene families of malaria parasites encode virulent determinants. The published genome sequence of Plasmodium vivax revealed the largest subtelomeric multigene family of human malaria parasites, the vir super-family, presently

T2prhd: a tool to study the patterns of repeat evolution [PDF]
, 2008 BACKGROUND: The models developed to characterize the evolution of multigene families (such as the birth-and-death and the concerted models) have also been applied on the level of sequence repeats inside a gene/protein.
