Chromosome-level genome assembly of trypanosomatid parasite Lotmaria passim links chromosome duplication and divergence with infection of honey bees
Our analysis links differentiation of a conserved supernumerary chromosome with infection of bees, parallel to this chromosome's role in Leishmania infection of mammals and linking chromosome-level changes with adaptation to new hosts.
