Integration of reporter transgenes into <i>Schistosoma mansoni</i> chromosomes mediated by pseudotyped murine leukemia virus

Abstract excerpt

The recent release of draft genome sequences of two of the major human schistosomes has underscored the pressing need to develop functional genomics approaches for these significant pathogens. The sequence information also makes feasible genome-scale investigation of transgene integration into schistosome chromosomes. Retrovirus-mediated transduction offers a means to establish transgenic lines of schistosomes,...
