Identification of Novel Interspersed DNA Repetitive Elements in the Genome Associated with the 3'UTRs of Surface Multigenic Families.

is the etiological agent of Chagas disease, which affects millions of people in Latin America. No transcriptional control of gene expression has been demonstrated in this organism, and 50% of its genome consists of repetitive elements and members of multigenic families. In this study, we applied a novel bioinformatics approach to predict new repetitive elements in the genome sequence of .
