Table 1.

Data of the most recent genomes of the best-studied strains of T. cruzi and the B7 strain of T. cruzi marinkellei. BNEL: CL Brener Non-Esmeraldo-like; BEL: CL Brener Esmeraldo-like; PacBio: Pacific Biosciences. Contig N50: is a statistic median such that the 50% of the whole assembly is contained in contigs equal to or larger than this value.
