Analysis of EhSINE1: 393 EhSINE1 copies (length > 450 bp) of Entamoeba histolytica HM-1:IMSS were taken for analysis. 1.0 kb from both 5′- and 3′-ends of each EhSINE1 element were extracted using a perl code wherever possible. The flanking sequences were separately mapped to the contigs of the Rahman strain using BLAST. Only when both flanking sequences of a specific SINE element mapped to a single contig was it used for further analysis.
