ABSTRACT
Trypanosoma cruzi
belongs to the group of mitochondrion-containing eukaryotes and has a highly plastic genome, unusual gene organization, and complex mechanisms for gene expression (polycistronic transcription). We report here the genome sequence of strain Bug2148, the first genomic sequence belonging to cluster TcV, which has been related to vertical transmission.
Conditional genome engineering reveals canonical and divergent roles for the Hus1 component of the 9–1–1 complex in the maintenance of the plastic genome ofLeishmania
