From: Phylogenetic and syntenic data support a single horizontal transference to a Trypanosoma ancestor of a prokaryotic proline racemase implicated in parasite evasion from host defences

Figure 6

Synteny analysis showing the genomic organisation of orthologous genes arranged on Try PRAC loci in the genomes of several trypanosome species. The aligned genome segments showed total synteny in all trypanosomes exhibiting PRAC genes and the loss exclusively of PRAC gene in the corresponding T. congolense, T. b. brucei and T. evansi loci. Only partial synteny was observed in the L. major locus, with an additional putative enolase gene and the replacement of PRAC by a Tubby family gene.
