Comparison of the average percentage identities of T. musculi kDNA maxicircle with those from the other 3 Trypanosomatidae species

Comparison of T. musculi	Whole coding region	5′-edited genes	Extensively edited genes	rRNAs	Non-edited genes
vs T. lewisi	92.7%	95.8%	92.4%	95.4%	92.2%
vs T. cruzi	78.0%	84.5%	73.7%	84.0%	78.4%
vs T. brucei	73.9%	84.4%	60.2%	80.5%	74.8%

Entire coding region: starting from 5′end of 12S rRNA to 3′ end of ND5.

5′-edited genes: Cyb, COII.

Extensively edited genes: ND8, ND9, ND7, COIII, ATPase6, CR3, CR4, ND3, RPS12.

Non-edited genes: uS3m, ND2, ND1, COI.

MURF2, ND4 and ND5 genes are not calculated in T. musculi (5′-edited genes or non-edited genes) due to insertions/deletion.
