About 50 copies of this element appear to reside in the ''S. mansoni'' genome.<br /> The term ''Sinbad'' term derives from the legendary mariner-explorer Sinbad protagonist of the classical Persian/Arabic tales &quot;1001 Arabian Nights&quot; (Sinbad traveled through near Eastern countries where schistosomiasis disease remains endemic even today). ''Sinbad'' gives the name and belongs to ''Sinbad'' clade ([[Literature:14755|Copeland ''et al.'' 2005]]). <br /> <br /> The genome structure of ''Sinbad'' is about 6.3 Kb in size, includes LTRs of 386 nt long and encodes for a single ORF. Although the internal coding region is disrupted by several stop codons and frameshiftings, the distinct ''gag'' and ''pol'' domains typical of LTR retrotransposons are clearly evident in the sequence of ''Sinbad'' ([[Literature:14755|Copeland ''et al.'' 2005]]).
