^aEleven putative T. cruzi NSTs were identified in GeneDB by perfoming Blastp searches using characterized NSTs of different organisms as queries. For nine of the genes both haplotypes could be identified based on similarity and synteny. The hybrid diploid CL Brener strain is composed of haplotypes named Esmeraldo-like and non-Esmeraldo-like. Genes (and their respective number of amino acids) derived from Esmeraldo-like haplotypes are indicated in parentheses
^bNumber of transmembrane domains (for non-Esmeraldo like genes only) were predicted using the TMHMM Server 2.0 (http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/TMHMM/)
