The small chromosomes of Trypanosoma brucei involved in antigenic variation are constructed around repetitive palindromes.
Most eukaryotic genomes contain large regions of satellite DNA. These arrays are often associated with essential chromosomal functions, but remain largely absent from genome projects because of difficulties in cloning and sequence assembly. The numerous small chromosomes of the parasite Trypanosoma...
