Fig 5. Genotype discrimination based on spectral similarity searches.
Fourteen T.cruzi strains (Sylvio X10 cl1, Sylvio X10/4, G, Y, Esmeraldo, M6241 cl6, 3869, CanIII cl1, José Júlio, MN cl2, NR cl3, CL Brener and CL14) belonging to six DTUs were selected to test the Tc-STAMS2 method. In order to build the MS/MS spectral library, each strain was assigned to the corresponding DTU. Two biological replicates for each strain were used to build the library and one independent replicate was used to match against the library. The unique dot product SDSS score.
