Identity of highest-scoring pairs for sequence tags from 64 Tb427-chrVIa-specific (panel A) and 32 randomly selected clones from the Tb427-chrVIa-enriched plasmid library (panel B), derived by BLASTN comparison of sequence tags with Tb927 sequence in GeneDB and trypanosome sequence in the EMBL database. (A) VSGs, (B) VSG expression site-associated genes, (C) intergenic sequences in VSG arrays in Tb927, (D) RHS genes and retrotransposons, (E) genes from other chromosomes, (F) UDP-dependent glycosyl transferase, (G) chrVI genes (chromosome core), (H) intergenic sequences (chromosome core), (I) telomeric and telomere-associated sequences, (J) no significant match. See Supplemental Tables S3 and S4 for additional details.
