The Complete Mitochondrial DNA of Trypanosoma cruzi: Maxicircles and Minicircles
The mitochondrial DNA of Trypanosomatids, known as the kinetoplast DNA or kDNA or mtDNA, consists of a few maxicircles and thousands of minicircles concatenated together into a huge complex network. These structures present species-specific sizes, from 20 to 40 Kb in maxicircles and from 0.5 to 10 K...
