Abstract excerpt
The genome sequence of the protistan parasite Entamoeba histolytica HM-1:IMSS has been completed recently. Among the findings has been a unique organisation for the tRNA genes in this organism. Forty-two of the tRNA isoacceptor types are encoded in tandem arrays that vary in unit length from 490 to 1775 basepairs and contain from 1 to 5 tRNA genes. In three cases a 5S RNA gene is also present in the unit. An...
