Strain-specific genome evolution in Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease
2021
PLoS Pathogens
The extreme genome flexibility evident in T. cruzi also appears to create unique challenges with respect to preserving core genome functions and gene expression that sets this species apart from related ...
However, the highly repetitive nature of the genome–largely a result of these same extensive families of genes–have prevented a full understanding of the extent of gene diversity and its maintenance in ...

2020
International Journal of Molecular Sciences
Tc964 is annotated in the T. cruzi genome as a hypothetical protein. ...
The Tc964 protein was initially identified by its presence in the interactome associated with the LYT1 mRNAs, which code for a virulence factor of Trypanosoma cruzi. ...
A question for the future will be to establish whether a functional role is shared between the proteins SPR54 and Tc964. ...
