Abstract excerpt
The ribosomal RNA genes in Entamoeba histolytica are located on circular DNA molecules in about 200 copies per genome equivalent. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the 5.8S rRNA gene and the flanking internal transcribed spacers was carried out to determine the degree of sequence divergence in the multiple rRNA gene copies of a given strain; amongst three different E. histolytica strains (HM-1:IMSS, Rahman and...
