High-throughput analysis of the Trypanosoma cruzi minicirculome (mcDNA) unveils structural variation and functional diversity

Abstract Trypanosoma cruzi causes Chagas disease and has a unique extranuclear genome enclosed in a structure called the kinetoplast, which contains circular genomes known as maxi- and minicircles. While the structure and function of maxicircles are well-understood, many aspects of minicircles remai...
