study of subtelomeric VSG array evolution in Trypanosoma brucei
A collaborative project between the Sanger Institute and the Wellcome Trust Centre for Molecular Parasitology . This data is part of a pre-publication release. For information on the proper use of pre-publication data shared by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (including details of any publication moratoria), please see http://www.sanger.ac.uk/datasharing/
The goal of the study is to resequence two strains of T. brucei, with the same VSG archive, that have been isolated from the field several years apart.  Genomic DNA will be sequenced and, because the VSG archive is very different from that of the genome strain 927, the subtelomeres will be assembled de novo and compared.
