The nuclear genome of Trypanosoma cruzi CL Brener is being sequenced by the TIGR-Seattle Biomedical Research
Institute-Karolinska Institute T. cruzi Sequencing Consortium (TSK-TSC). Funding for this project is being provided by the
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
This is the fourth release (v 4.0) of the Trypanosoma cruzi
genome sequence, gene predictions and annotation generated by the TSK-TSC. Contig sequences have *not changed* since the
previous release, with the exception of 6 contigs that were removed from this new dataset, since they correspond to bacterial
contamination. The T. cruzi release v4.0 consists of 4,008 annotated contigs totaling 60.4 Mb, plus a further 28737 unannotated contigs totalling 29.2 Mb. The 23,216 gene models were initially
annotated through a system that executes multiple steps of homology search and then determines the best call based on multiple
sources of evidence. In a next step, a more refined gene function prediction was implemented by a combination of manual curation
of T. cruzi specific genes as well as transfer of manual curation of gene products from their T. brucei or L. major
orthologs.
