Trypanosoma_brucei_TAR_clone_sequencing. Trypanosoma_brucei_TAR_clone_sequencing

The telomeres of Trypanosoma brucei are underrepresented in standard libraries so a strategy for isolating T. brucei BES-containing telomeres in Saccaromyces cerevisiae by using transformation-associated recombination (TAR) was devised (Becker M., Aitcheson N., Byles E., Wickstead, B., Louis E. and Rudenko G. (2004) Isolation of the repertoire of VSG expression site containing telomeres of Trypanosoma brucei 427 using Transformation Associated Recombination in yeast. Genome Research 14: 2319-2329.). In this approach, rather than just sequencing the TAR clone, we are sequencing the yeast genome plus telomeric YACs from Trypanosoma brucei 927 to capture missing telomeric sequence.
