Figure 3. Comparative analysis of the maxicircles kDNA assembled to date.
Global alignment of the maxicircle of L. panamensis against different maxicircles of trypanosomatids reported. (A) L. tarentolae. (B) L. donovani. (C) T. brucei. (D) T. cruzi. (E) T. rangeli. The values correspond to the percentage of nucleotide identity (MUMmer program). (F) Dendrogram derived from the similarity in synteny between the maxicircles analyzed (Mauve program).
