Recent evolutionary history of American Onchocerca volvulus, based on analysis of a tandemly repeated DNA sequence family.
1 May 1994
Abstract excerpt
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products were characterized for a repeated sequence family (designated "O-150") of the human filarial parasite Onchocerca volvulus. In phylogenetic inferences, the O-150 sequences clustered into closely related groups, suggesting that concerted evolution maintains sequence homology in this family. Using a novel mathematical model based on a nested application of an analysis of...
