From: The recombinase Rad51 plays a key role in events of genetic exchange in Trypanosoma cruzi
Naturally-occurring T. cruzi hybrids present increased levels of RAD51 and BRCA2 transcripts. (A) Naturally-occurring non-hybrid Esmeraldo and Sylvio strains exhibit lower basal levels of RAD51 and BRCA2 transcripts when compared to Cl Brener strain. (B) After irradiation, levels of RAD51 and BRCA2 transcripts increased in all strains. Transcription of RAD51 and BRCA2 present highest levels at 24 h. The comparison was made with the respective non-irradiated strain at each time analyzed. Experiments were performed in triplicate. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 vs. _ (One-way ANOVA).
