Evidence for regulated expression of Telomeric Repeat-containing RNAs (TERRA) in parasitic trypanosomatids

Damasceno, Jeziel D; Silva, Gabriel LA; Tschudi, Christian; Tosi, Luiz RO.

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 112 (8), 2017

The Telomeric Repeat-containing RNAs (TERRA) participate in the homeostasis of telomeres in higher eukaryotes. Here, we investigated the expression of TERRA in Leishmania spp. and Trypanosoma brucei and found evidences for its expression as a specific RNA class. The trypanosomatid TERRA are heterogeneous...

Identification of a criminal by DNA typing in a rape case in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Góes, Andréa Carla de Souza; Silva, Dayse Aparecida da; Domingues, Cristiane Santana; Marreiro Sobrinho, Joäo; Carvalho, Elizeu Fagundes de.

Säo Paulo med. j; 120 (3), 2002

CONTEXT: Human DNA identification is a powerful tool for paternity cases as well as for criminal investigation, in which biological evidence is typed after collection from crime scenes and for the identification of human remains. OBJECTIVE: Identification of a criminal in a rape case with 4 suspects usin...
