Genome Sequence of Trypanosoma cruzi Strain Bug2148

Genome Announc. 2018 Jan 18;6(3):e01497-17. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.01497-17.

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.
