POPULATION GENETIC ANALYSIS OF COLOMBIAN TRYPANOSOMA CRUZI ISOLATES REVEALED BY ENZYME ELECTROPHORETIC PROFILES

Population genetic analysis of Colombian Trypanosoma cruzi isolates revealed by enzyme electrophoretic profiles

Although Colombia presents an enormous biological diversity, few studies have been conducted on the population genetics of Trypanosoma cruzi.This study was carried out with 23 Colombian stocks of this protozoa analyzed for 13 isoenzymatic loci.The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the genetic diversity and heterogeneity, the genetic relationships and the

The Virus-Induced Upregulation of the miR-183/96/182 Cluster and the FoxO Family Protein Members Are Not Required for Efficient Replication of HSV-1

Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) expresses a large number of miRNAs, and their function is still not completely understood.In addition, HSV-1 has been found to deregulate host miRNAs, which adds to the complexity of the regulation of efficient virus replication.In this study, we comprehensively addressed the deregulation of host miRNAs by massive-par
