- •
We studied the repertoire and phylogeny of TS genes among species of T. cruzi clade.
- •
Members of T. cruzi clade share expansion and diversification of the TS gene family.
- •
T. conorhini TS sequences are the most divergent.
- •
TS family analysis is consistent with the evolutionary history of the T. cruzi clade.
