Identification of the Boudicca and Sinbad retrotransposons in the genome of the human blood fluke Schistosoma haematobium
Schistosomes have a comparatively large genome, estimated for Schistosoma mansoni to be about 270 megabase pairs (haploid genome). Recent findings have shown that mobile genetic elements constitute significant proportions of the genomes of S. mansoni and S. japonicum. Much less information is availa...
