Abstract excerpt
RAPD analysis and sequences of the mini-exon and ribosomal genes show that Trypanosoma cruzi can be clustered into two phylogenetic groups-T. cruzi I and II. Herein, the Representational Difference Analysis (RDA) method was used, providing new targets specific for each group. After three rounds of RDA hybridizing F strain (tester) with Y strain (driver) and vice-versa, an F-specific (F#30) and Y-specific (Y#22)...
