Phylogenetic character mapping of proteomic diversity shows high correlation with subspecific phylogenetic diversity in <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i>

Abstract excerpt

We performed a phylogenetic character mapping on 26 stocks of Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite responsible for Chagas disease, and 2 stocks of the sister taxon T. cruzi marinkellei to test for possible associations between T. cruzi-subspecific phylogenetic diversity and levels of protein expression, as examined by proteomic analysis and mass spectrometry. We observed a high level of correlation (P < 10(-4))...
