Figure 2From: Anatomy and evolution of telomeric and subtelomeric regions in the human protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruziHybridization of subtelomeric genes with T. cruzi chromosomal bands. A. CL Brener molecular karyotype obtained after separation of chromosomal bands by PFGE (1.1% agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide). The size of each chromosomal band (Mb) is indicated on the right. In accordance with the nomenclature proposed by Cano and coworkers [8], the chromosomal bands are designated by Roman numerals, starting with the smallest band. B. Hybridization of the chromosomal bands with subtelomeric genes: TS, trans-sialidase; RHS, retrotransposon hot spot; DGF-1, dispersed gene family-1; C. Hybridization of the chromosomal bands with a single copy gene control (Histone H2B).Back to article page
