Dendrogram of the hierarchical analysis of the T. cruzi strains’ predicted ploidy. The hierarchical clustering analysis based on Euclidian distances of the predicted ploidy of each chromosome from the T. cruzi Arequipa, Colombiana, Sylvio, Esmeraldo, Y and 231 strains was performed using the Pvclust package and the R software platform. Two bootstrap resampling methods were used to assess the uncertainty in the hierarchical cluster analysis: the approximately unbiased (au) in red, and the bootstrap probability (bp) in green
