Comparative repeatome analysis on Triatoma infestans Andean and Non-Andean lineages, main vector of Chagas disease
19 Jul 2017
Abstract excerpt
Triatoma infestans is the most important Chagas disease vector in South America. Two main evolutionary lineages, named Andean and non-Andean, have been recognized by geographical distribution, phenetic and genetic characteristics. One of the main differences is the genomic size, varying over 30% in their haploid DNA content. Here we realize a genome wide analysis to compare the repetitive genome fraction...
