Figure 2From: Comparative genomic analysis reveals occurrence of genetic recombination in virulent Cryptosporidium hominis subtypes and telomeric gene duplications in Cryptosporidium parvum Deletion of genes in Cryptosporidium hominis genomes in comparison with Cryptosporidium parvum. A. Deletion of four genes (cgd6_5480, cgd6_5490, cgd6_5510, and cgd6_5520) at the 3′ end of chromosome 6 (probably should be the 5′ end of chromosome 5) in C. hominis. B. A major 19,048-bp deletion in C. hominis genome in chromosome 8, including the cgd8_680 and cgd8_690 genes. Note the ~10 kb sequence gap in C. parvum.Back to article page
