(A) Distribution of surface molecule gene tandem arrays in the 47 chromosomes of the TcI Sylvio X10/1 genome. In this image, each line corresponds to an assembled putative chromosome drawn in proportion to its size, where genes corresponding to the largest T. cruzi multigene families are represented by colored boxes, hypothetical genes are represented by gray boxes and known core genes as black boxes. The position of the gene boxes above or below the line corresponds to the direction of transcription. (B) Comparison of chromosome 15 from the TcI Sylvio X10/1 assembly with TcVI CL Brener chromosomes containing syntenic blocks. The TcI (Sylvio X10/1) chromosome is depicted with black boxes indicating genes that have a CL Brener homolog, and blue boxes showing genes with no synteny with CL Brener. For TcVI (CL Brener) green boxes indicate genes that have no Sylvio X10/1 homolog. The red boxes above these lines show the location of complete genes coding for large surface molecule gene family members. In the circle plot, the lines between chromosomes represent regions of synteny between orthologous genes.
