Popis: Summary: Here, we focus on Leishmania extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their DNA content, detailing a protocol for the isolation of these nanoparticles and their subsequent genomic characterization. We describe a robust and comprehensive approach for obtaining, storing, and analyzing EVs derived from cultured parasites. We detail a user-friendly bioinformatics pipeline for sequence analysis and visualization of CNV analysis and ploidy changes.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Douanne et al. (2022).1 : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
