The morphology is defined by the positions of the flagellum emergence point and the flagellar pocket (FP; shown in orange), nucleus (shown in blue) and kinetoplast DNA (mitochondrial kDNA; shown in ...

The mitochondrial genome of Trypanosoma brucei is uniquely organised as a kinetoplast, a highly complex network composed of thousands of minicircles and a smaller number of maxicircles. This structure ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The structure of the kinetoplast DNA of Trypanosoma equiperdum has been studied and compared to the structure of the circular mitochondrial ...

In an article published in Small, researchers successfully applied a new qualitative and quantitative method for the detection of a DNA sequence characteristic of Leishmania infantum kinetoplast, a ...

As tough as a medieval chainmail armour and as soft as a contact lens. This material is not taken from science fiction, it is a natural structure made of thousands of DNA circles interlinked with each ...
