Abstract excerpt
The nucleotide sequence of two non-contiguous DNA fragments of 4.0 and 2.2 kb, respectively, of the kinetoplast maxicircle of Trypanosoma brucei brucei EATRO strain 427 has been determined, completing the sequence analysis of the so-called variable region (see also de Vries et al., 1988, Mol. Biochem. Parasitol. 27, 71-82). Analysis of the entire 8-kb variable region sequence revealed the presence of a 5.2-kb...
