  • Title: Identification of the telomeres on Schistosoma mansoni chromosomes by FISH.
    Author: Hirai H, LoVerde PT.
    Journal: J Parasitol; 1996 Jun; 82(3):511-2. PubMed ID: 8636864.
    Abstract:
    The telomeres (molecular termini) of chromosomes play an important role in maintaining the structural integrity of the chromosome. Using a deoxyoligomer that contains the core sequence TTAGGG, we identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) the telomeres on all 8 pairs of Schistosoma mansoni mitotic metaphase chromosomes. Our results indicate that S. mansoni exhibits a telomere sequence typical of other species.
