Subtelomeric plasticity contributes to gene family expansion in the human parasitic flatworm Schistosoma mansoni

2023-10-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> The genomic region that lies between the telomere and chromosome body, termed the subtelomere, is heterochromatic, repeat-rich, and frequently undergoes rearrangement. Within this region, large-scale structural changes enable gene diversification, and, as such, large multicopy gene families are often found at the subtelomere. In some parasites, genes associated with proliferation, invasion, a...
