Resumen
Tubulin genes in Trypanosoma rangeli, the only trypanosome besides 7'. cruzi to infect humans in America, are organized in
homogeneous, alternate c~ and 13 gene tandem repeats of 3.8 kb. The basic repeat was cloned, mapped and partially sequenced.
In contrast to most other eukaryotes, where tubulin genes are scattered throughout the genome, trypanosomatids so far studied
are characterized by tandem arrangements of these genes with the genus Trypanosoma displaying an alternating a- and 13-tubulin
tandem repeat.
