The complete genome of Trypanosoma cruzi reveals 32 chromosomes and three genomic compartments

Abstract excerpt

Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, exhibits remarkable genomic variability and possesses an expanded genome rich in multigene families. However, its precise chromosomal composition has remained elusive due to the challenges posed by extensive repetitive regions. In this work, we determined the complete molecular karyotype of the T. cruzi Dm28c strain, which comprises 32 chromosomes....
