- Abstract:
-
The genome of African trypanosomes contains a large number of minichromosomes. Their only proposed role is in the expansion of the parasites' repertoire of telomeric variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) genes as minichromosomes carry silent VSG gene copies in telomeric locations. Despite their importance as VSG gene donors, little is known about the actual composition of the minichromosomal karyotype and the stability of its inheritance. In this study we show, by using high-resolution pulsed-fi...
