DNA methylation in Trypanosoma cruzi. Rojas, M. V. & Galanti, N. FEBS letters, 263(1):113–116, April, 1990.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
DNA isolated from the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi has been found to contain 5-methylcytosine. Analysis of T. cruzi DNA by both HpaII and MspI restriction endonucleases suggests that the sequence -CCGG- is not methylated. Probably T. cruzi DNA also contains N6-methyladenine. This report constitutes the first clear demonstration of the presence of methylated bases in the nuclear DNA from trypanosomes.
